The title of this entry comes from my analytics. It actually made me laugh when I saw it, I tried to find where I rank for this but I was not in the top 50 listings so I gave up. Reguardless, it asks a solid question.
Do you have to know how to write good well to blog?
The resounding answer is no. Look at all of the blogs out there. I’d venture to say that well over 94% of them are not worth the digital paper they are written on. The writing is poor and actual content is even worse or they are just scraper sites that are scraping crappy blogs.
So to you, whomever found my site with this long tail search, no you don’t have to write good to blog… you just have to be able to write well if you want readers

Content is the most important thing. I was saying you don’t need to be able to write well to have a blog… you do, however, need good content (that is well written) if you want consistant readers

Savvy marketing doesn’t hurt, either. I followed your link over here from Mixx just to strenuously object–”No? What in the &%*$%$! do you mean ‘no’?? And by the way, that’s ‘well’, not ‘good’!” Turns out you’re dead on AND knew how to get me to click.

I find it easier to follow someone with ideas and a sense of humor who can’t write than it is to follow a great writer with nothing to say.

Are you saying that content is not important, or just the way you write?
I find content of utmost importance; but I agree the way you write, has nothing to do with traditional writing.
