It seems like Lokiza is pointing to this article http://www.4evayoung.com/the-story-of-the-pencil/

It has nothing to do with blogging though. But some points look similar… might be a coincidence ?

I love this analogy! I agree with all of your points.

I’ve owned all kinds of pencils and what is on the outside doesn’t indicate what is on the inside that’s for sure. A very pretty pencil doesn’t always write well. And some of the cheaper pencils have such bad erasers so you rip up your page when you try to rub things out!

The latter translates to blogging quite well. Many people try to do things the cheap and easy way, barely putting anything into their blog and expecting great results and then making an utter mess as they try to re-arrange things on their site figuring they just have to be more salesy and use more cheap tricks to get good results.

Thanks for this post and for visiting my site earlier too. I am really happy when someone who comments on my blog has great stuff on their site!
