Sorry, I didn't make it clear, I wasn't saying "fall in or you'll be unemployable". The thought didn't even cross my mind that someone visiting this site would really care about that :)
What I'm saying though, is that someone Googles your name - acquaintance, potential customer/partner/reviewer/employee etc, and it'll happen more and more as you get more successful, they'll make a snap judgement based on what they see (and your blog will be #1).
You're writing interesting content but kind of shooting yourself in the foot by adding a few (very light) personal/group attacks in there. I'm just saying a bit more effort/restraint could turn it into a real asset, people will visit the site and say, wow, this is a guy to look out for. Larry O'Brien (http://www.knowing.net) http://www.knowing.net) is one example - I wouldn't know him from a bar of soap without his blog, but I found it, liked it, still read it, and I can tell you now that he'll be far richer in opportunities because he's put that effort in.
So that's what I meant. Maybe I'm overstepping the mark by saying it instead of thinking it, and I should have worded it better, but really I'm just trying to give you a bit of constructive criticism (and like I said, if you're just using it as a diary or to vent, please do ignore what I'm saying).
- mattmaroon 20y agoYeah, I get what you're saying, and you're not incorrect. I have one of the more popular poker blogs and I've seen the effects first hand. I'm definitely more interested in just making something I like. Obviously for my startup's blog I won't have such liberty.
