Being emotional while blogging
Many people have emotions running inside of them all the time, even when they do not show those emotions to others. When writing for blogs, you usually tend to focus on your emotions related to what you want to write about in order to come up with content. Sometimes, you depend on your emotions to tell you the topics you should write about. You should identify the situations when your emotions dictate your blog posts and the situations when you use your emotions as aiding tools if you want to find out how your emotions about different things affect your blogging.
Identify emotions to blog differently
One of the big differences between a personal and a non-personal blog is that the former usually depends on emotion to come up with topics to write about while the latter uses emotion to refine what one has already decided to write. If you can identify how you use your emotions to affect your blog content, you can take advantage of such an identification to come up with better content. You can apply a non-emotional approach to personal blogging, or a more emotional approach to non-personal blogging. You can become better equipped to not let your emotions let you write things which you may regret later, and you can also realize when being emotional in certain topics can be more effective in communicating a certain idea, thought or opinion.
Emotions can motivate your blogging
Emotions can be the motivating elements that can help you write better. They can act as elements to spice up your otherwise boring blogging habits. Emotions can also help you look at things from a more personal perspective. Control and use your emotions effectively to your own advantage for your blogging needs, as emotions can be something you can always rely on if you cannot get motivation or inspiration from other things.

Blogging emotionally…
Lots of people do this. There are sometimes situations which one just cant discuss with anybody, but their blog.
All the more reason for a blog to be ones close friend.
Blogging emotional also brings the audience a step closer to the author. (even though he/she prefers to stay anonymous)

Sawai. You raise an interesting point about a blog being a close friend to the blogger. And you are right, blogging emotionally does tend to connect the readers directly with the blogger because of the blogger showing human-like nature.
Chau, hmm, no, lol. :p You said “blogs”; you have more than one? 0_0 :p

Emotions do rule you some times and I think that is the main reason there are times we find some posts that are blunt .
I think it is better let go of your emotions when you write and then later make changes. I think this changes need not change the heart of the article.
But there are times when we write about something close to our heart and I think that time just dont care about anything.
