I just recently sat down to think what “direction” I wanted to take my blogging in. Should I keep it personal and start a new blog devoted to my technology encounters? Should I keep it all in one and deal with it being crowded?

The conclusion I came to was “so what if it is a mashup of my life, that’s what it is supposed to be”. The more thought I put into it and research I’ve done on other successful blogs, as long as you’re sincerely interested in what you’re writing about and convey that to your readers to get them equally as interested, it doesn’t matter what you write about and where you write about it but more that you’re writing, period.

I’ve just started a blog for homeowners in my townhouse community in an effort to help stem acts the Board is taking that I feel are detrimental to the Association (scary thing is, I’m President, but apparently am not in the majority).

As to the “vanity” blog, where folks write about themselves or their thoughts – most of those seem to die eventual deaths due to the amount of work needed to keep them up to date and interesting… Kudos to those that are able to keep them going. Yeah, they might just about themselves, but it can be really interesting reading about how that person approached the things in their life. I doubt I could pull it off.
