My main reason for doing the daily food intake log was to get in the habit of making post to my blog on a daily basis. I thought that would be an easy topic for me to write about and would help me in my quest to shed a few pounds. After making a few posts about my daily food intake and reading this article on Michael Masterson’s Blog, I now realize how boring the content really is. Other than me, who cares?

Unless I am Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton , why would anyone else care about what I had to eat? This actually brings me to my biggest roadblock in blogging and that is, does anyone really care about what I have to say? I read a ton of blogs, so I guess the answer is, Yes they will. The trick is to find an interesting topic that motivates me to make frequent posts, but is also interesting enough for others to read. After all, my whole reason for blogging is to share my thoughts and ideas on topics that others are interested in, not just publish a bunch of content that is worthless and only means something to me.

Another blogging roadblock that I have is giving my ideas and thoughts on subjects that I’m not an expert in. If I’m not an expert in a field, do people really care what I have to say or what I think about it? Again, I look to my own experience and I have quite a few blogs that I subscribe to that I read on a daily basis about a particular subject and the authors openly admit they are not experts. However, I read what they have to say anyway and some times, I even take their advice.

Until I get over my blogging hurdles and decide if blogging is really for me, I’ll probably experiment with some different things. I also need to make post more frequently, even if it is just a quick thought.

This blog is actually turning into a blog about nothing more than what the blog should be about. Was that confusing? Probably.

If you have any suggestions, leave me a comment. Maybe I’ll take Masterson’s advice and purchase the book, No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog.
