It totally depends on your writing style. I prefer my blogs to be informal and casual. Formal blogs sound detached to me. Casual tone creates a connection with the reader.
Make it simpler. Use examples to explain complex concepts.
Use short sentences instead of conjoined long ones. I try to do that, but I end up creating the long ones.
Use subtle humor. It keeps the content interesting.
Try simple vocabulary. readers like it when when they don't have to search for the meanings.
If you're working on technical stuff, make sure to explain the keywords simply right there and mention the sources!

This is what I use in my blogs. Try these links to my articles. Might prove useful..

Thanks so much Shana! I'll go through those you have given above. Between having a doubt, will it be okay if I write informally with a little humour for an official blog if it's for a company?

Well, THAT depends on the content. If you're writing a formal thing like enotice or announcement, then it is formal definitely. But if it's kinda content you write for a topic, then it can be informal. Readers dig it.
