There must be something in life that really floats your boat. Blog about that. If that something is new to you, then blog about your experiences. My blog is usually a way for me to record experiences [1], ideas, techniques and even resources [2] I find useful. I don't rate my writing skills that highly but do reference posts heavily in my resume, which gets positive results. It amazes me how quickly I built mine up. And it doesn't get read. Even today, two years after I wrote it, my experience activating a phone is the most popular post [3] (it's the only post that gets more than 10 hits a month - every other post that even gets a hit gets no more than one).

That's not even part of my blog.

That doesn't seem boring to you? My experiences seem to be among a few lines: 1. "This person said this, and I agree". Note how much my earlier post is this category. 2. Huh, this thing isn't great, or is confusing, but I have no real solutions. I wouldn't read anything at all like this. Maybe it's something I do need to push through, but it's rough when I don't know what I'm aiming for and don't like what I'm making.

  Not boring. In fact quite the opposite. I go back to my posts often, especially when I'm doing something for work (documentation, for example), and need ideas.

    I guess if you are a software developer, you can make a blog about hard issues that you want to remember. I am not sure if this will cause problems with NDAs though.
