Once you start writing consistently the content comes naturally. I accidentally destroyed my blog last week and when restoring posts I found it interesting to see how the writing had evolved.

When I started this blog I made a pact with myself to try post at least once a week. Now I have to hold myself back and try hold back the ideas to manage my time. Your blog becomes an extension of yourself I agree. that is why you need to find your 'voice' and write about what you are passionate about.

I'm hoping to keep my newest blog focused because in the past I've had a lot of Off-Topic stuff added to them. Thanks for the advice!

As you mention yourself, you've seen a few of your blogs fall by the wayside, through lack of direction. This is also the case with lack of commitment. To really make a blog work, you need to devote time, energy, resources and most of all *love* to it. If you don't have these, it'll show in your blog and, ultimately, you'll lose way and impetus. An unloved blog is worse than no blog at all. I think one thing that needs to be mentioned as well is that you need to be committed to making the blog work.

It took me a couple months to really get the hang of making decent posts. Just put yourself out there. Also for what to write about - be passionate about it. link it to something you do or follow. It'll be a lot easier to come up with topics if you are experiencing it like starting a business or love reading the sports section everyday. Just start writing is a huge step.
