Single Subject Blogs

This is not a single subject blog, if only because I'm not that good at focusing my interests, and for better or worse this blog represents this. Once upon a time I used to write a lot about cars and song lyrics, and I still write a lot about politics, San Francisco and occasionally trends on the Internet, whatever that means.

But this should be a single subject blog, and so should any blog that you're thinking of writing. They offer readers consistency, and provide search engines with a clear sense of what your blog is about (and why they should be sending seachers there). Overall, I believe that sharp and single-minded focus on a subject just makes the web and your personal brand just a bit stronger.

Don't you agree?

So I submit to you, some ideas on what I could write about if I chose to write about one thing.

* Historical San Francisco (I love it). Sample blog post.

* Maintaining an offline life in an overly web saturated world. Sample blog post.

* Centrist politics 101. I'm sure the world is full of these voices, but perhaps the view from San Francisco's liberalism would be interesting. Kind of sample blog post here.
