That’s a tough question and it should involve some proper thought. What topics should my blog focus on? Should I keep it strictly about web development or could I publish some non-web development related blog posts? [ad#content2]
It’s a tough decision. Many blogs around the blogosphere offer this advice – choose a topic (for example, cars) and stick to it. However, I’m not sure if that’s great advice. After all, a blog is supposed to be an online log of someone’s life. Therefore, I think that personal posts should be allowed.
Also, it’s my blog and I can do what I want. Though many argue that sometimes, to attract visitors, you have to write about what the public wants to read. But that’s not being true to the purpose of your blog and also, people like to read about other people’s lives. That’s what attracted me to reading blogs in the first place.
Why do you think soaps (especially in the UK) or series (such as House – Season 3 (Hugh Laurie) [2006]
I’m still not entirely sure about what I’m going to do but, from time to time I’m going to slip in a personal post. About something I’m interested in other than my main blog topic – a review of a book I’ve read or a picture of a new gadget I’ve bought.
It’s a blog – make it a little bit personal.

Nice theme. I used this one before. I still like it. Anyways…if you ever need an idea for what to blog about we run a feature on our blog called “Take a Thought…Leave a Thought” to give people ideas to write about. It comes in handy if you are stuck.
Thanks for the link Lee, I’ll have to check it out.
Don’t think, just write. If you loose to much time in thinking you will not write anything.
Just start to write about the first thing coming across your brain.
regards,
D.
