I'm curious to hear some of your thoughts on optimal blogging.  My father and stepmother flew in from Virginia for a few days visit and to attend my daughter's Nutcracker ballet performances this weekend.  Yesterday, my father and I were discussing the art of blogging.  What makes a good blog?  What makes a popular blog?  I've been blogging for two and a half years now and I was wanting to get some reader's input on what they consider good blogging?  What compels you to read someone's blog regularly?  Certain blogs and bloggers get read more widely than others, so I wanted to hear your thoughts on what dynamics influence your blog reading.
