So if I work on the content (and as the days go by there will be more and more posts), I should see a rise in visitors? Sounds pretty logical, but thanks, I'll try and get more content up! :) Thanks Jalaj,

My website (The World Through My Eyes) has the tagline: "Todays world through the eyes of a technology addicted, business obsessed teenager." It highlights the key topics - technology and business - however this encompasses a huge amount. For example, technology refers to gadgets, websites, wed design, Software/Operating Systems etc. I was wondering if you could have a quick look around my blog and give me some feedback and suggestions? Cheers! Hi Nate,

I'm definitely incorporating this into my blog, even though it already has a clear focus on the Chicago2016 bid. (If you Google search it, I'm the #1 blog, #4 site overall that comes up.) Go to DanielHonigman.com if you're curious, Nate. Thanks for the advice. I’m definitely incorporating this into my blog, even though it already has a clear focus on the Chicago2016 bid.

I know the topic I WANT to stay on, but I often have so much to say. One of these days, I will narrow my scope. Staying on focus can be SO hard for me.

I am so glad to see you are strongly focussed on the purpose of your blog. You are so right when you mention the blogs we have seen fail as the author loses sight of their blog's purpose. I particularly like your mention of asking your readers what they want to see more of. A successful blog is an online community, yet so often we see community leaders fail to actually ask their members for their opinion! - Martin Reed Nate – a great article.

Time is the scarcest commodity on the Internet and people will give your site 10 seconds before moving on. You have to be very clear what you are providing. And doing this also helps with branding. A strong brand helps to sell your site and clarify what you are indeed focussed on. I think this is something that I’m learning more and more.

I myself used to be entirely focused on myself, drifted to tech, and now I am heading towards politics. Drifting helps new bloggers find what they like covering. I doubt that I would have ever gone straight into following politics. It is also important to note that sometimes a little room to drift is a good idea, especially on personal blogs.
