I so love what Yugatech posted in his blog.
I most readily identify with this:
Case #1. You blog about personal stuff — no apparent direction, just random rants and raves, with irregular posts. Your blog started out as the classic personal online journal.
The next level. You blog regularly now and you are more focused — less about yourself and more about the issues. You decided a blog about clubbing in the metro will be your niche. You do a regular weekly review and in between, you blog consistently. Have you grown to the next level?
And now Im ready to take my blogging to the next level. I have bought my own domain name and am decided on what to really blog about - motherhood. I will keep this blog update regarding finds I discover over the web.
