Blogging in your underpants

This morning Rogier said: "Blogging is like standing in your underpants".

Blogging for him means exposing (in public), and for that you have to be in good shape. Sound like a perfectionist's comment to me.

We had a meeting (with colleagues) about our blogging experiences. Most of us are now blogging about one year, some hardly write and others more regularly. The non-bloggers say they don't have time (priority) or they don't have anything provocative to say. So, for getting reactions, you need to be provocative. I'm not likely to be provocative all the time (and I don't get much feedback but can live with that, one's in a while makes my happy enough). Is blogging then something for the extravert, who don't care much about the type of reactions and who say what they think. Or is it a misunderstanding to think that you only get reactions when you are provocative?

Lilia says that she can't predict what makes people react, what they pick up from the postings. It's a strange thing, this blogging. But I just keep on writing, provocative or not.
