I like starting my posts with a "personal story" which covers the "why I'm even bothering to write about this". The whys on the technical answer might come before or after the whats depending on what the topic is though. But if you've already motivated the audience to keep reading with your personal story, then the sequencing is more fluid I think.
Oh yeah, getting a bit personal works wonderfully, if you as an author feel comfortable sharing your personal story. Anyone can write the same Wikipedia page but only you can have that specific perspective.
I've found that this approach works well indeed!
