Voice: the voice you use while writing a blog post.  What is your voice?  It is happy, sincere, argumentative, condoning, blunt, or even caustic?  

I’m sure most the voices used are happy, helpful, and warm.  Do you use that same voice other places?

Do you use that voice with your spouse, children, Pastor, friends, and acquaintances?

I have seen where people are happy, warm, and funny on the phone or on-line, but toward their family or driving in the car they are unbearable. 

You voice is who you are.  Bring it out and be that voice.  It’s better to be yourself than pretend to be something else. 

On the other hand, if you are trying to change practice your voice everywhere. 

I have read that people follow sites and read people follow people.  Both are true.

Who do you follow? 

I follow sites to a point. The reason is that they have information, but if the person writing is rude or caustic; I don’t care what they have to say – I will not follow them.

I am on Facebook and I have many people who are my friends but I unfollow.  I have a family member that I enjoy their post, but since the election they have been rude and insulting.  Unfollow!

Is this what you want for your blog?  What voice are you using?
