Ive been thinking about how to make a popular blog. It’s not a very easy question, and may require a little bit of luck to get right. I’ve seen some python blogs before, but not many that are simple and aimed at bigginner- middle class programmers. The very first idea that crossed my mind was; a blog about recent events on the internet. Surly people visit the internet alot, and spend alot of time on it. No matter how you look at it, such a blog would have succssess as the internet is rapidly changing and new news, posts, events, updates are constantly happening. The downside to such a blog would be simple, however. There are far too many social sites, or even bloggy-news sites which are quite big, and rapidly add any new information about a certain general topic (IT related things for example). And social bookmarking sites such as digg and reddit also tend to have the same effect, or even, a better approach than a global-internet-blog.
So, what other options are there? How can a good blog be done?
Perhaps it is better to write blog about a very specific topic, one that is not extreamly mainstream, but that will attract the attention of a group of people. Granted, such a blog would never become word famous but it might have great succsses if it’s done good.
What other options are there? Looking at the recent popular and fastest growing wordpress blogs at the moment we’ll see a list that looks something like: LOLcats, fail blog, news blogs, and etc. What does this mean? what do people want to read from blogs?
Blogs are all about getting information out there from a person, which is constantly (maybe even daily) updated. People could read blogs for several reasons such as; the topic is just interesting to them, they want to learn about new things, keep up with a certain product (a companies blog), or read about other people thoughts.
I must admit that i do not have any super-awesome conclusion to make of all this, just some interesting ideas and observations that ive been having.
