Mark Twain
Mark Twain's views on writing can be used for blogging as well. For example, he says not to use flowery speech, which works for blogging because there isn't anything formal about it. Rather than use large words and stretch a sentence online, just cut it short and finish it. Kind of a lazy approach, but then again we're on the internet, how can you get more lazy?

I agree that blogging can be a very informal process. When writing on the internet there are basically no rules so you can choose how formally you want to write. Making a sentence short and simple can still get the same point across without all the added metaphors and rhetoric. You do not necessairly need flowery speech to make a blog entry or paper sound better.
