Perhaps the most important question is what you are going to blog about. Some people blog about their lives in general; some blog about their jobs; some blog about their hobbies; some tell the world about their kids and what it's like to be a parent, and still others blog about the weird world of celebrities. But whatever you choose to blog about it needs to be something you are passionate about. Don't forget, you are going to be writing about this topic several times a week, and if you don't have the enthusiasm for it, that will show in your posts - and no one else will have the enthusiasm to read them.
