Choosing a Subject

choosing a subject

What kind of blog should you write? There really is only one answer to that question and I dont know it. But I can help you figure it out for yourself.

You should choose something you're knowledgeable about. do you like finding links on the web that are fun to view? Create something like iambored.com

Do you like "Single Girl" content? Raven Riley and FTV Girls and Met Art? then creating something similar to badgirlsblog.com (Their blog, in my opinion, lacks an important part however... that's text)

Its best that you write about things that

1) you enjoy viewing yourself so it doesnt seem so much like work
2) you are knowledgable hats (MML, sounds like you need a boobshat blog)
3) something with plenty of resource material at your fingertips
4) something that is "news worthy"

One important step here is 'what is newsworthy?' Well, if you create a gay blog, you'll want to write daily articles about the gay community, about new gay websites and pictorials, about new gay events and other such information.

Alternatively, some of the most popular blogs dont even have a theme. Fleshbot, Eros Blog, BoingBoing... these blogs link to whatever catch their fancy. They write interesting to read articles every day that are from a wild variety of topics.

But its newsworthy. Its something they learn about before writing. Its something people find amusing. That's what keeps someone coming back to read your site day in and day out.

My blog is another example of a 'multiverse' blog. I pretty much write whatever covers my fancy.

The added difficulty in creating a multopic blog is that people stop coming for the subject matter and start coming to hear _YOUR_ voice... just to hear what you have to say, like calling up an old friend.

If you arent a decent writer and dont feel comfortable about that its best to pick a topic and write on.
