Your view on ‘The View on…” series

Posted on

I do not write that many posts about the process of blogging, and I have already done one this morning, but I feel the need to do a second.

As some readers here will have noticed, I have begun a new series of posts under the generic title “Richard Murphy's view on...”.

Having chosen that generic title, I have then drafted these in the third person because they are designed for sharing and as a means of accessing some of my thinking on particular subjects, as well as related reading lists. So far, most have linked to more than 20 other posts on this blog.

However, that choice to write in the third person, as if I am writing about myself,  appears to be upsetting some people, and they have suggested that these should be drafted in the first person, or as explicitly personal opinion, instead.

I can see the argument for both approaches, and before going much further into this series, for which I have around 90 titles listed at present, I would like some guidance from you as to which approach I should use.

Might you therefore be willing to complete this poll, which might help me decide?

In what style should the “View on...” series be written? In the third person In the first person I do not care; do what you want
