Is your blog telling a lot about who you are?

I think it does. True or not, at least people will attach a personality to the blogger based on the blog.

The way it looks...the layout...the author's picture...the text in the about section...the way posts are written...it tells a lot...so be careful.

As examples...guess who's behind...

Green on black. Quick, short and irregular posts on random thoughts on technology and technology meetups. No picture of the author in the about section. The author is...the CTO of a startup...it fits.

Gray on white. Nice but not fancy. Long in-depth posts on heavy technical stuff. Small picture and factual description in the about section. The author is...a tech lead...it fits.

Black on beige. Blue and green background. Pictures of books, albums, writers in the sidebar along with quotes and poems. Regular posts on life, poems, music, books, shows. The author is...a writer...it fits.

Two blogs. Light gray on black and the other black on white. Irregular posts on apparently random topics. No focus. Sometimes in French, sometimes in English. Total chaos...that would be me...it fits.

And what about...

Gray on black. The about section takes half the screen. The description written using the 3rd person and includes superlatives. Posts on business topics. The author is...a CEO looking for a job...yep...it fits.
