That has always been my aim in creating my web sites, and it's interesting to hear one person say they like personal interest sites, even when they may be about controversial subjects... and others saying they hate them because of the controversial subjects.
Most of the subjects I touch upon are related to technology, social issues and the environment... progress, in general. Yet, even these seemingly innocuous subjects often raise the ire of others almost as badly as discussions of religion and politics.
OTOH, I can't see the point to having a page or blog that makes a big deal out of my day... no one wants to hear about that... not even me! I've avoided sites and blogs like that, as they are wholly uninteresting to me. (So, you tried a raspberry cheese bagel today?
Fascinating...)
So I go to sites that discuss things the author is interested in, even when they are not necessarily connected to the books they write.
