Before you start another soon-to-be-deserted blog, you may wanna take a few minutes and think about what running a blog requires from you. Are you creative? Are you disciplined? Can you string together two paragraphs of coherent, selling text, with good spelling and grammar? Do you have a clue of how to target a few keyphrases and end up getting some half-assed SE traffic in the long run? No? Then fuck it. Blogs DO require work. And yes, they can bring great results, but just like with everything else, you need to persevere. If you start a blog, only to abandon it three weeks later, then you've simply washed three weeks of your time down the drain. In that case, stick with what you do best, whatever that is. Blogging simply isn't for everybody.
