Blogging, much like commenting, is a form of communication. For that to work, it needs two parties: the one communicating, and the one being communicated to (more advanced viewpoint: blogging is a dialogue... but let's skip that bit for now).
Who are you writing for? Figure that out, and then the rest will make more sense. Everything you do on your blog you should do for that ideal (or concrete) reader. Your own desires should generally come a distant second. It's all about the readers.
Another tip: Just as making a product "for anyone" is a deadly mistake, making a blog "for anyone" is also fatal. If your blog isn't written for anyone in particular, it isn't interesting to anyone in particular.
