I'll bite. ;-)

Blogs are as close as you can come to being simply yourself. The only  
exception is when the purpose of the blog is to promote a commercial or  
professional interest, but you said that wasn't the intent any longer.  
It's hard to advise someone on being themselves unless I know them so well  
I can spot fakery. I have a tough time spotting that in the mirror, so I  
won't pretend to help you there. My only advice is to encourage you to use  
it and configure it according to your convictions, doing what you *must*  
do, saying what you *must* say.

If your intention is simply to draw a lot of traffic, you'll have to  
compromise on that. Or, at the very least, engage something very popular  
with Netizens. In that case, choose your audience, because there's a  
tremendous amount of polarization and specialization of interets.

Even saying all that is merely revealing my own biases, revealing myself.
