13. Write about your kids

I was just thinking about this on the bus this morning. I need to update my personal blog with some photos from our zoo visit this weekend (my 1 year old LOVES flamingos!). My next thought was that Marnie Webb is always talking about her daughter, as well as AJAX, folksonomy and other fascinating things on her blog. I love the posts that feature her daughter because it helps me know who Marnie is as a person.

Not sure I'm going to start posting pics of Samantha in her froggy sunglasses any time soon, but at the very minimum it's a good reminder that no matter what you're writing, and especially if it's online, it needs to be infused with a voice that is authentically yours. People want to KNOW you.
