It would definitely be more relate able (especially to the greater blogosphere) with a start in personal story land.

Without an emotional story it feels like you are making an emotional appeal through system 2 (or through a calculating brain) which may work for some but if you are trying to appeal to a greater audience; maybe some emotional guidance would help people connect with the idea more.
