From an outside perspective, I think the reason you vary your writing style is because your topics vary so drastically. If your aim is to create a single site that chronicles everything “you”, then I think this you are on the right track, and don't worry about it one bit. But, if you ever had an itch to gain a substantial following, you'd be best sticking to one niche topic per site.

Good luck, Ben. Send me some seafood lasagna!

You bring up an interesting question, one that is open for debate (and different for different bloggers)…which is more valuable, a blog comment or a retweet? To me, a blog comment shows that the reader cared enough to engage with you, which is awesome. And a retweet shows that the reader cared enough to share your writing with their network (equally awesome). Interesting debate.

I tend to talk differently for every different post I make on my site. I think that's mostly because sometimes I write one certain way, and sometimes I write with a few drinks in me.

Also, you're right about the video posting. I don't do it now because I have a looong suuuthern draaaw when I talk and it makes me shudder whenever I hear it. Guess I need to get over myself and join the year 2010.

Thanks for the adivice!

And, of course, always looking for more comments. Seems like comments are down since I added the Re-Tweet button. Do you think people are re-tweeting instead of commenting these days? Because it is faster?

Great post, Ryan!
