What to write about
Ok, You’ve started a blog.
You have your domain name.
You picked your layout, and you page looks good. you have everything set up. You’ve written your About me page, Links are ready, RSS feeds are set, ect.
Now what?
First of all, you need a General Theme or Topic. It could be Cooking, The internet, About blogging, Business, Personal… the possibilities are endless.
You cannot really start a blog properly without getting the basics sorted out. It’s like building, You cant build anything without laying the foundation first.
I would recommend blogging about something you know about or something you are going to learn about and know well. So if you are studying Graphic design, you can blog about Graphic designing and new things you learn as you go on. If you are a business person, you can share your experiences and ideas by using your blog. If you are a mechanic, well, then write/blog about it.
I know many people who just blog about their personal life. That’s fine. Mostly blogs are about a certain topic or a profession.
Idealy you want to have a domain name that has something to do with what you are going to blog about. Something like this is Great: Problogger.net. This guys name is Darren Rowse, he blogs about bloggin. He is a “professional blogger” and he writes about it. So his domain name is great. It is exactly what he is talking about. Professional blogging. 
The reason why you want it like that is for Search Engine Optimization. (I will talk about it another day.) It’s basically to make your search on Google or other search engine more related to your blog. It will pick up: problogger.net, Oh its about professional Blogging. Your rankings will go up because of that reason.
( again, I will chat about Search Engine Optimization at a later stage.)
You don’t necicerally need to write about only one thing. You can mix it up a bit. There is nothing wrong with that. When you blog about something and stay on topic, your search engine rankings will be better, and you will probably have more return Customers than when you mix it up. It CAN be done, but if you are a new blogger, and want people to read what you have to say, stay on topic.
Lastly: My blog is generally about the internet. I write about things I think people out there should know about. I try and give the best general advice I can and help out where I can.
I would like for you, My readers, to let me know what you want to know about the internet. ANYTHING about the internet. Please leave a comment, or email me and I will write about it and let you know what I know. If I haven’t written about it yet.
