I think the conversational style appeals to them more for this reason as well. I think it makes the reader feel as though they are interacting with someone rather than just reading alone at the computer. This may not be the case for a webstore however but I must say some bloggers do make you feel as though you know them.

I was told in school years ago that I couldn't write well - that I should stick to math and science (as though you don't have to write when you're a scientist). Yet I discovered I could write when I made it made my writing about relationships rather than essays. Now I just write as I speak - mostly. And it's amazing to me that more people don't get that what consumers want is the interaction with a person. As I keep saying - people don't do business with businesses, they do business with people. And when we meet, greet and treat our prospects as the people they are, selling often takes care of itself. Communicatrix,

You can't possibly have a conversation with your customers (or anyone else, for that matter) over the sound of the projector running, if you catch my drift. RE: writing style, I think most people put on their Sunday-go-to-meetin' hat when they sit down to write "serious" copy. I've been guilty of it myself in the past. The two best secrets I've ever learned about becoming a great writer are these: 1. Give yourself permission for a vomit-on-the-page first draft (what Liz mentions in her list--first, I think) 2. Read everything you can get your hands on and write more than you ever thought possible. Of course, #2 is more of a long-term strategy, I'll grant you. But it is *so* the truth.

I am a web designer as well until only recently that I changed my site and turn it into a blog. Nobody visits a static website anymore. Another thing is, blogs give a more personal approach to people who reads them especially on the same topic you blog about. I like it when people of the same topic meet and win friends. Hey!
