What to blog about?

At Craig’s suggestion I thought I’d make a little list of things that I could potentially blog about. So here it is.

  • Book and film reviews - nice idea but doubt I could do that with any frequency.
  • Geeky stuff - a subject I can write a fair bit about, but I pretty much have that covered already elsewhere.
  • Poetry - again, the frequency problem, plus I’m not great at it.
  • Linkblog - possibly, but think I’d get bored pretty quickly with that. May incorporate it in a small way though.
  • Website reviews - could do a review now and again, but I’m short on time, so wouldn’t be the sole subject.
  • Mental health - something I’m fairly passionate about, but nah, way too depressing (something I don’t need!)
  • Gaming - don’t do enough of that these days to qualify.
  • Family life - nice idea but I don’t like to get too personal over the internet.
  • Pet blog - possibly the worst idea yet
  • Pagan / Reiki / natural health - sort of have that covered already too, but would possibly reach a wider audience here.

In short, after all that, I’m still undecided. So I think I’ll just go with the flow and post what I feel like posting when I feel like posting it. Which is pretty much what I already do over at my main blog. Ho-hum.

  1. There’s no reason to only post about one of those catagories–personally I think the most interesting blogs are diverse.

    There’s always http://www.blogideas.com/ for help!

    :D

  2. I agree, I just like to have at least a general theme because I already have an ‘anything and everything’ blog.

    Quite a neat site you linked to though, thanks!

  3. Hi Zenith,

    I’ve been twisting my brain, too, trying to work out what exactly to focus on here at wp.com. But it’s hard to exclude topic areas, because I like ‘grazing’ - having interesting stuff come at me, and stumble across it serendipitously - and I like the natural flow of letting whatever grabs you at the moment trickle into the blog.

    FWIW, these blog topics of yours would be of particular interest to me:
    - natural health
    - book/movie and website reviews
    - geeky stuff
    - anything about animals :)

  4. I’ll see what I can come up with on the natural health front. I doubt I’ll cover geeky stuff here, as I concentrate on that over at femalegeek.com

    Thanks for the input. :)

  5. my topic is natural health and i think it is the best because the theme is really inexhaustible.

  6. I plotted down a small list I go through to find my topics. It’s not so much a list of a way to find creativity.
