Timbo, my regular reader, brings up a question that other prospective ink bloggers may be asking themselves: should I ink in print or cursive (http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14494870&postID=115781230652116919)?
The short answer is: whichever you prefer. As a form of communication, handwriting is as personalized as it gets. To anyone thinking of starting an ink blog, I encourage you to run with that and write in a style that is natural and comfortable for you.
That said, Timbo's main concern is the common conflict of natural vs. legible. If no one can read it, what's the point of publishing it? But again, I say, go with what you like. By dint of being handwritten, an ink blog is a personal public journal, a means to publish one's thoughts. Why should you care if anyone else can understand your thoughts?
Admittedly, all that is easy for me to say since my natural style is legible enough. And there is a touch of hypocrisy as well; although Scribbles is a personal blog, I cannot shake the influence of my professional writing experiences. As a result, writing for an audience is an element of my personal style. Regardless, that's my style and I'm stickin' to it. You should too.

I AM FAMOUS
Heh, there is a certain charm to getting a shout out online, no matter in what capacity :P 'Preciate it. And I reckon that cursive might actually be the way to go, so long as I take the time make sure it's legible enough, but not too long so that it flows out naturally as well :P Makes a bit of sense.
Also, been meaning to ask, do you have any favorite blogs that you read?
