		<description>@Michael - The target audience is critical, definitely a good idea Michael

@Steven - Yes I modify my style depending on the venue too. You have to fit into the blog or publication you are writing for :)

@Amrit - Also offer your guest posting services over at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.authorityblogger.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog forum&lt;/a&gt;

@BlogOxide - Well if I think of &lt;a href=&quot;http://copyblogger.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Brian&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://problogger.net&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Darren&lt;/a&gt;, both are interested in writing but in a slightly different way. What I write for each will have to take account of what is expected and interesting to them and their audiences.</description>

		<description>It makes sense Chris, especially the thinking of going to a party and the discussion there. I, however, m a bit confused about the different friend thingy, that works if the niche is different but suppose if one&#039;s blogging about writing and he&#039;s to make the guest post on same. Gets a bit perplexed, but I&#039;d have to agree with the first statement to be tricky.</description>

		<description>Hi Chris.

Thanks for the great thoughts. I too am considering approaching other blogger to guest post on their blogs. In fact I&#039;ve written to a few and am awaiting their reply.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t done a lot of guest posting myself, but I have done some and I look at each as another opportunity to stretch myself as a writer. The same way you don&#039;t use the same language in front of your mother as you do in front of &#039;the guys&#039; you write with a slightly different style for each blog.

I like to understand the voice of a blog where I&#039;ll guest post and try to incorporate some of that voice into my own while guest blogging.

I think adopting a portion of the blog&#039;s voice can help you connect with its audience, while keeping enough of your own helps set you apart. Hopefully it also leads to growth as a writer by stepping outside your usual writing.</description>

		<description>Absolutely, Chris. Makes sense. I take a look at the blog&#039;s posts and what the commenters say beforehand (and before accepting!). That way I get a feel for the environment.</description>
