If you are going to have a blog, you are going to have to write post on your blog and keep your readers interested in what you have to say. What are you going to blog about? Well, that depends on what you want to write about. Are you interested in writing about politics, sports, business, movie reviews, local news, Hollywood news, whatever it is you decide to write about you are going to want to make sure it is something that you have a keen interest in and are not going to get bored with.
