I like it when people know what they're talking about. Credibility goes a long way. It's cool when people are being real online too and not trying to be something they're not. Natural is best.

I think I write the way I speak, for the most part.

When I was writing my book, one of my teachers said it was too much how I spoke. At first I took it as a cut but now after it is finished and out there, I know that it is exactly how I wanted it. Speak your mind from your heart and you will never go wrong!

Thank you all for sharing! As I progress through the training here and revisit my site, I can see so much development and growing since I've started here. It's pretty cool! Kinda like being in school again, and seeing the skills learned actually going to good use!

I had my website looked at by Eddy Salomon here at WA, he gave me some great advice. I needed to use more of my personality in my website. I believe you're going in the right direction.

If you see this as a serious business, I would advise you to stick to standard English. This would give more character to your work and would appeal to people in all walks of life.

I try to be natural but at the same time pro, not really how I speak because only speak Spanish at home and I haven't made a website in Spanish yet. Besides I normally speak in slangguage. Haha

I write like a speak too! :) I would consider that a good thing if you want to engage your readers. It is more natural, humorous at times and has personality. Professional has it's place, but anyone can do that. If you want to stand out, you have to be you in everything you do!

I actually write just the way I speak. That's just the way I roll.

I like to see a blend of writing that sounds like you are talking/speaking with elements of professional speech. Anything textbook is easy to understand if written conversationally - but it still needs to make you sound smart and qualified to talk about your chosen topic :)
