People only have time to really read a few blogs regularly, thus, it is a rather hard niche to get into. Reading blogs, however, is more important than writing. I actually got asked in a job interview recently who some of my favorite bloggers were. One I mentioned was joelonsoftware, after which the interviewer told me that their company uses Fogbugz, mainly because they too like Joel's blog. It was a definite good point in the interview :-) Another thing to keep in mind is that you should only put stuff on the internet that you won't mind people reading years from now, because once it's out there it's out there.
