How do you focus your blog?

I love writing a blog. In fact, I lament that I don’t write here enough. Ideally, I would write here three times a week. Readers/visitors would get to know my schedule and visit accordingly. I’d have themed days. So that you knew you may get a review once a week, or an article on technology once a week and then my randomness otherwise.

Last week I wrote this piece about Pinterest being used for Shopping. I went into depth, used Storify (I’ll have to write about Storify here this weekend) to get quotes, and overall made a great article about Pinterest. One so good, that I felt it would be better on Gadget Angels versus here. More eyes and all that. In fact I feel guilty writing about tech/gadgets/apps here because I feel like I should be writing about it there.

The question comes up as to what do I want out of this blog. What do I want to write about or what do I feel like I have to put here that I can’t put on the GamingAngels sites.

Initially, I created this blog to talk about a few main subjects:

  • Building Community
  • Being a Geeky Wife
  • Feminism topics
  • From there, I have seen that I want to talk about:

  • Being a Geeky Wife – trying to be a geeky mom
  • Tech I use or think other beginning bloggers should use
  • Favorite cleaning products
  • Style ideas for house etc
  • What’s on my mind
  • I really do want this to be a resource that other bloggers can get advice from for different technologies. But I know that I need this space to talk about my struggle as a CEO of a media company and my journey to become a mom. I also want this place to be where I can try new ideas. Build my brand and really focus on what my goals are personally.

    My question to you is how did you determine your blog focus? Are you an all-in-one? Do you only cover one area? What would you like to see as a reader?

    Thanks for the feedback!
