MODERATORS
Most personal blogs I stumble upon are written by people who actually have not much to say. The post timeline usually is like:
Back in the day, personal websites where actually interesting because they were made by people with interesting topics, e.g. some Italian grandma sharing her tomato sauce recipes, or a huge page with nothing but Diablo 1 hacking by some student.
Nowadays it is 90% people who work in a 9-5 IT/software job, writing the same stuff as everyone else.
