I completely agree with the 'personality' aspect. What keeps me going to blogs? I think it's the 'friend' factor – I like to know mundane things about people, like what they do in their day-to-day life. It may be mundane to them, but since I am usually on the other side of the world, it's interesting to me! I am also more likely to visit a blog that has developed a personal relationship with me through my own blog or through Twitter or something. That way, it feels like visiting a friend!

I agree, it's all about passion.

that's a great point jennine – i guess that's why i tend to like the really personal blogs, because the person HAS to evolve and grow and change over time – well, in theory anyway – and it's interesting to see how that changes the blog.

i tend to like blogs that keep pushing it to the next level. there are a lot of great blogs out there, but not so many of them i notice REALLY push themselves. they get good, get traffic and then rest on their laurels and egos.
