Blogs

Should blogs adopt a more conversational style or a more literary style? By conversational style, I mean something that's more colloquial, something that sounds like a "water-cooler conversation". Oh dear, that's not making it any easier to understand is it? I assume if you know what 'colloquial' and 'water-cooler conversation' (not a common phrase to Indians) means, then you could figure out what I mean by 'conversational style'. Anyway, if you haven't flipped through a dictionary yet and are still a little confused, then let me try again. Something that sounds like he's just talking to you in person and like those conversations, the topics revolve around nothing - chit-chat, if I may.

Or should the blogger adopt a style of his own, define his writing by his command of the language, for as they say, "Metaphors make the man" (Fine, they don't say that, but maybe now they may). For who wouldn't want to read the work of a man who knows his way amongst the forest of words that is the English languages, wielding a bow of __________ with a gargantuan vocabulary acting as his quiver.

Think about it, I'll return to this after a (long) break.
