1) Blog posts that re-state the mind numbingly obvious as if it were original and insightful.
(2) Blog posts that rehash ideas within a given vein that have already circulated
ad-nauseam, without adding significantly to them.
(3) Blog posts that put forward ideas so fluffy, feel-
good or ambiguous that it is impossible to disagree with them, but they
don't add value either.

important to be yourself", except when it'
s more expedient not to be. This is truism blogging.
