DISQUS

I started a new blog recently (a blog about blogging) and I decided I was going to write posts that were new and different from what I read on other blogs about blogging. Before you know it the emails and the comments start showing up asking questions about how to start a blog and all the basic stuff that has been covered a million times on other blogs. It got me thinking.

I hope to build a large community at my site and become a one stop blog on blogging. Unfortunately that means I will have to rehash topics that have been discussed a million times. I could just skip those beginning topics and direct readers to sites that have already covered the topics but if I am getting so many emails, comments, and questions about things that I think have been explained to death, then there is obviously a need for the answers to these questions (even if someone has already answered them before.)

It is great to have a new almost never before thought of niche, but their are so many people out there that are just starting out that don't now why they should have a hosted WordPress blog instead of a Blogspot blog. There are so many people that just need help starting their first blog or learning how to not make the stupid mistakes we all made when we started.

It always amazes me how many long time bloggers spend so much time talking over new bloggers heads. I don't make much money online, but their are tons of new bloggers that want to learn how to make even the small amount that I do make. I understand your feelings about what you think are rehashed topics, just remember most people do not read as many feeds and blogs as we do each day and if you write about the topics that other bloggers cover your readers won't have to leave your blog to go find the topics they are interested in. I want my readers to find other interesting blogs but I also want to provide them with a one stop blog for all their blogging questions. ;)
