For a successful personal brand to operate, you need four things: 1. A killer idea of the population you want to attract. (I.e., Federal employees who wish they could garden all day.) 2. Ramped up loyalty among the community (I.e., "I'll be at the Red Derby on Sunday getting blitzed - but I want your company!") 3. Character. There are lots of blogs that cater to Washington, DC. What makes yours different? Are you engaged and planning to get married? That's a good stress/joy/glam issue to pop into the mix. Perhaps you don't want to be elbowed on the bus. You find yourself Facebook-befriended to guys you met at singles nights two years ago. Many options. 4. Onanism. Branding is difficult, unless your me.

Some points actually hit me dead-center, especially the branding part. I'm still tinkering the look of my blog, changing the layout or the entire template.
