Penelope Trunk is indeed a great storyteller and has no fear and indeed she likes to have contradictory opinions and she does a great job in giving her reasons.

The other thing that I love about her is that she sure visits people that links to her. She loves being talked about and what I love about her is that she takes a peek on what you do and gives her opinion. She’s cool at that!

I love her more than any other bloggers because I think she cares. My other favorite blogger is Danny Brown. The guy is genuine and has endless sense of humour.

Thanks – though I did have to look up “perquisition” to see what you meant. I learn something new every day.

- “While she name drops, over shares and brags” -

Over shares is a HUGE understatement. I enjoy the hell out of her career advice but this girl suffers from TMI tourette. I feel like I have to perquisition through a Nora Robert novel to get to the good stuff.

Penelope Trunk is a nut case, but she’s a smart nut case.

>>that is a false statement, she is not smart.

This is a great summary of what makes a blog post compelling. Great job of putting into practice what you preach (in a number of ways)!

So glad you found it helpful, P.T. is often polarizing but always entertaining.

Michelle (and Penelope)

As a transitioning journalist (old media), I have been studying how to build a readership for my blog (http://www.wordtrope.com/blog), and spent the past week reading posts like this one to learn more. Your post is, by far, the best advice I’ve found. I couldn’t agree more that Penelope Trunk’s blog is among the most interesting in cyberspace. She knows how to write well and knows how to keep readers interested. Count me as a fan.

I beg to differ – I think Penelope Trunk is from the New School of blogging where bloggers are getting away with a lot. Ever read Gawker? TechCrunch? Or for that matter, Sister Wolf’s blog, Godammit, I’m Mad?
