I truly believe that beyond the blog “site” itself, what makes people so attracted to them is the “personality” (when applicable) infused by the author.
I think it’s important for the blogger to have his own style and personality and not be afraid to express it in its posts, templates, or comments.
The fact is that we’ll hardly come with an “innovative” concept that no one ever think of before, not matter how big or small your list (example) somebody will already have listed your ideas. So what makes people like your list more than the one of another? You personality expressed through your blog, this is the one thing that can truly get us unique.

It’s great to get advice from the experts who have already been in your shoes, but you have to be comfortable following the best path for you. Even the best advice won’t help your blog if you’re not familiar with the topic, can’t provide great insight and content, and don’t truly believe in your cause.

It’s sometimes hard to not follow the crowd, because blogging trends are very different. But, one way to tell it (and you may not even notice) is by looking at your list posts as I said in the article. Of course there are tons of other ways to look for unoriginality, but I found that to be a rather cool little thing to do.

I noticed that when we moved from /blog/ to the root directory, we went from PR0 to PR2, PR2 to PR3, then back to PR2. So I think Google is screwing with all of us!

There are different groups of bloggers. People who follow everyone else, people who don’t want to be like everyone else, and people who aren’t like everyone else. And the one thing that really distinguishes one group from the other is personality.

Personality wise, Dennis, I’d say you are definitely a nonconformist in that department. Not just on my blog, but at yours too.

Just like I said in my reply to Dean’s comment – keep doing what you’re doing. I’m sure your readers appreciate your personality, regardless where it puts you. :p

No problem Dean. Just keep doing what you’re doing on your blog, we all get kicks out of it.

Thanks for the compliment on the theme. It’s going to be changed probably tomorrow, and I hope you like that one even better. As for the guest post, I’d love to have you here man. I’ll definitely be in touch!

I had a much bigger plan for “how to be unique”.

I don’t like that either Kai, but I guess some people just can’t stick to blogging. It’s a shame, but sometimes you just can’t prevent it. =/

Great post Alex. I completely agree many blogger, me included, follow the crowd without even knowing it. Maybe you should post ways to become more unique. By the way, did you notice that PR is being updated? My Pr keeps switching from 2 to 0. I think Google is teasing me, lol. I guess that just means it’s being updated.
