Here are a few tips to keep yourself on the straight and narrow when maintaining a blog, and some food for thought for those of you that are considering starting one.Be RealisticDont doubt that writing a blog is a time-consuming venture especially if you want to do it well and hope that people other than your parents will read it.

Go into your blog knowing that youre going to talk about cute cat videos trending today, or local events, or current international politics. Whatever. Have a narrow focus if you get too broad and generalized the massive amounts of information available on the web will just swamp you and youll drown.READ35 Painful Mistakes Travel Bloggers Make (And How To Fix Them)If You Can, Get InvolvedSo much of blogging is about the community.
