I think it really depends on the blog, and maybe even what kind of mood you're in. I can appreciate blogs that are "all business", and I think it's easy enough to discern which are all business, and which mix business with personal, so to speak, and the readers simply decide which they prefer. The first blog that I ever read was Julie Zickefoose's, which is a mix of nature, art and personal life, and I love it.

Maybe not in a highly technical blog, but certainly I don't mind a little 'off-topic' posting in enthusiast blogs. It helps to know what makes the person tick, and often explains something about how and why they got interested in wildlife. In other words, it adds a narrative theme which can make for better communication (or explain strange changes in direction).

I think it depends on my relationship with the blogger, which sounds weird I know, because I've not met many of my favorite bloggers in person. What draws me initially to the site is the impersonal content, and early on I'm liable to ignore personal stuff. But the longer I read a given blog the more I find I'm amenable to it.

If it is occasional,I don't mind. But I usually don't read those post too closely. third answer – I’m neutral. If it is occasional,I don’t mind. But I usually don’t read those post too closely.
