Ask YC : do you write your own blog? or you get help from someone else?

One of my favorite web-design blogs is Antonio Lupetti's "woork" (http://woork.blogspot.com). English isn't his first language, and his grammar is sometimes a little quirky, but I read all of his posts because they're usually quite informative and entertaining despite the occasional grammatical or spelling error.

So I guess I agree with everybody else - just write your blog. If it's informative and fun to read, people will read it.

I copied a technique from PG: if I write an essay, I'll send it aroud to a few of my friends, who I can trust to be critical if they don't find it particularly good. If they're not especially impressed, or if they don't have anything to say about it, I'll rewrite sections or keep it as a draft, waiting to finish it up later.

I write my own blog. My readership is minuscule but it takes to my idiosyncrasies. And often challenges my opinions. What more could I ask!

Language should be the last reason why one does not communicate. An idea holds itself regardless of which language its written in and with what finesse.

And like you I guess I too shift from philosophy to poetry to tech without missing a beat. It does restrict your reader base a lot but again, if your style can accommodate all these perspectives, I dont see why you could not talk about all that catches your fancy.
