Starting a Blog: To blog or not to blog

This is part of my new on-going series on starting a blog. Target audience are people who are new to blogging and also those who been writing a blog but who want to start a new blog again.

I been blogging for about 2 years, the 2 hardest part of blogging is

  1. To blog or not to blog
    Not enough time. We always hear complains from people of not having time to do this and that. And yes,  i also do not have enough time. Previously, I am holding a full-time job,  studying part-time and learning web technologies. Rule of the thumb is that you should only focus on 3 main task at one time. So finding time to blog was tough with the above 3 task I have on hand. But now, I just completed my studies in 2008. Come 2009, I can manage my time and set a schedule to blog. To start off my blog, I aim to have just 1 post a week. Enough content to keep my audience glue to my blog. :)
    So do you think you can blog? Find out if you could set aside time to blog once a week to start off with. Once you get the hang of it, blogging will be part of your life
  2. Finding what to blog about
    The aim of my first blog infigaro.com is more related to my personal life. Somehow, i find it hard to share certain aspects of my life so as times goes by, I have less and less to blog about. My second blog, mobile.islikethat.com talks about useful online software which we can all make use of. I love this blog and yet at the same time, I felt i can do more. My 3rd blog is about life in SG in richbudgetman.com. However I find lack of direction for this blog. At the time of writing this, i would have redirect the above blogs to CIOdotcom.
    So my advise to blog on a topic which you have interest in or you have experience with. I have interest in the Dot Com world and also have experience to share from the views of a CIO. That is why CIOdot.com is born :)

I am ready to blog, are you ready to blog?
