Do you think it's a good idea to keep the odd little swear out of a personal blog that might be found by a prospective client, or even used to advertise yourself to them?
My blog (generally technical/process related) is partly my own way to record ideas and understandings, partly to prevent me from having to repeat myself over an over again or to make it easier so I can link to it from somewhere else which doesn't have much screen space, and partly as a way to advertise myself (I know it can help a lot, especially with non-techies, to show that you might not just be a nine to five-er).
I want to write the way I'd naturally do so, because it represents myself honestly. But lets say I wrote something like "so and so has finally got his tulip sorted" instead of "so and so has finally got his stuff sorted" - do you reckon anyone would actually care? Or does it look unprofessional ?
I suppose the issue I have is that it's not meant to be a professional blog - but it might be helpful to me in professional situations.
