One of the most important things you have to do when thinking of a good blog is to figure out what you believe is your blog’s specialty. If you try to hit everything, you will only get nothing but confusion from potential readers.

The question then remains: “What should I blog about?” For many, it’s a particular thing they enjoy. Salon.com has a segment known as “Ask the Pilot,” which is a blog written by an airline pilot. You can find theme blogs all over. I’ve found blogs on pugs, naval ships, even toilets.

It all boils down to what you want to talk about. Think well, and knock yourself out.
