I have no knowledge whatsoever of how to start a blog. I do know that I have a great deal of passion and knowledge about a subject that I would like to share with the public at large and my family that I strongly believe would be very useful and very informative. I have always wanted to do this, but never knew where to began. I will read your recommend blogs for further help. Thank you for helping me get started.

The key to improving your writing is to practice, practice, practice! Setting up a blog not only gives you the outlet to practice creative writing, but a venue to showcase it as well. If you are interested in writing, meeting new people, and possibly learning some new skills, then I highly recommend starting a blog. There are few entry barriers and unlimited opportunity.

That is definitely the thing I am most passionate about. Is that a bad idea? Patrick,

Do people ever do creative writing/fiction blogs? That is definitely the thing I am most passionate about. Is that a bad idea?

I enjoy reading your blog in and seeing that comment is special. I really had the management and science ones separate from the beginning. And in the management blog I occasionally had some economics and investing related posts. And as I found I wanted to write more on that topic, I decided it made sense to split it off into its own blog. It is a challenge to see what is the best target for your audience. I think it is good to have a personal flavor and occasionally straying from the main theme is fine. But if you find a strong theme that really is not tied to the main theme splitting it into a separate blog makes sense, in my opinion. I also find myself sometimes slightly editing a post on one blog for one of my other blogs, since the topics can overlap to some extent. Thanks for mentioning my blog.

Glad to hear you chose the right niche for your blog! I use <a href="http://cashmoneylife.com/resources/lunarpages.php" rel="nofollow">LunarPages</a> for my hosting service, and I don't hesitate recommending them to anyone - the service, support, and uptime I have received have all be phenomenal. I will be writing more about them in more detail in a later post. :) Ken, Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you chose the right niche for your blog!
