However, be careful not to overdo it. Do not talk much about yourself on your blog otherwise the readers will feel that you are just trying to make a “show-off” to impress them.
Remember that your readers thirst for information about anything under the sun but, not about YOU. They are after the information that you are about to share which will help them in one way or another.
They do not visit your site merely for knowing more about who you really are.
Do not pressure yourself to learn and master all these things at once. Give yourself enough time to become well-versed with blogging techniques.
Pressuring yourself will only cause you much stress and anxiety which is counterproductive to your aims in blogging.
Just keep writing, posting, learning and improving.
