And by the way, “infact?” There is no such word.

And “I think I speak for a vast majority of bloggers when I say that their sacred objective to attract as many readers as possible to their blogs.”
Perhaps you mean “I think I speak for a vast majority of bloggers when I say that their sacred objective is to attract as many readers as possible to their blogs.”

And
The natural question to ask is, “What can be done to get more people to read your blog?”.
You don’t need that full stop.

“I scoured theblogs”
Perhaps you meant you scoured the blog world, or the blogosphere, if you prefer neologisms. Or perhaps “theblogs” is the name of a source I don’t recognise? In which case, my apologies.

The suggested target audience would all the casual users of the internet who have an interest in developing and maintaining their website/blog but are not a html or web wiz.
Should be
The suggested target audience would be all the casual users of the internet who have an interest in developing and maintaining their websites/blogs but are not a html or web wizzes.
Actually, considering your advice later about brevity and simplicity, perhaps this would be better:
The suggested target audience: casual web users interested in developing and maintaining their websites or blogs, but without too much tech wizardry.

And I’m sure you meant “jargon-ladden”

And this post could have been written in about half the length if it had used its own suggestions.

Physician, heal thyself.

I’ve read lot many blogs that are big on polish but low on substance. Of course, there are many who’ll say that substance is subjective. Fair enough. But then no content, however well written from a language point of view, can afford to mirror the structure, nature, and tenor of blog-content that proliferate on the web, mind numbing in their repetitive nature, almost identical in their crib-a-thons, and inability to offer different personal perspectives. Though it is another matter that most such blogs do acquire medium to large readership who keep coming back for more.

I would say that language matters, but content matters more, though the latter cannot do without the former. Having said that, it might help to not agonize over ‘lack of numbers’ who read your blog for, if you believe in your content for the value you’ve built into it, then even if you get few committed readers you’ll have succeeded.

To write so that you cater to the taste of maximum readers will mean you will orient your writing, and content similar to most blogs out there that offer a bit of spice, and ‘cool talk’. Retain your voice even if it rings out frail in the jungle, for, there might just be a Mynah or two around who’ll heed your call and wing down to sit on your shoulder to hear what you have to say. Then maybe they’ll fly off and pass the word around for more of their kind. Until then, believe in your voice.

For starters, it’ll do.

BTW, use the tag for long posts.

I do agree that writing is important which is why I started the entire power writing series which goes through all of the steps of the writing process and how each step contributes to making the piece stronger. Pieces on voice and audience are in lncluded. I’ve seen plenty of articles on grammar.

Perhaps your phrasing and word choice “scour the blogs” was just unfortunate. I’d love to have a conversation with you about this.

Also you might try Google Blog Search.

Thanks for noticing what I’m doing. :)
