I think if you are creating blog for making money then choosing the niche of your blog is very critical decision, and I completely agree that you should blog only about what you love and are passionate about.

@Marta: thanks for posting again! There is a lot of information about RSS feeds. Perhaps so much that I will dedicate for an entire post. However, I strongly recommend that you sign up for Feedburner – they are the best around!

Please explain this stuff about site feeds. I don’t get it. How do I choose where to direct my site feeds? Thanks! Marta

Thanks for the great start. I have just started blogging concerning the green chemical industry and like to blog about scientific and environmental concerns that effect everyday people, plus promote our companies green chemical product line: WACO CHEMICAL EARTHKLEAN PRODUCTS.
The blog is: Green Chemicals are not always Green.
Had to cut my teeth somewhere. I am a tech person, but don’t have time to get into the more tech blogging area.
Again thanks and I will be a regualar.
God Bless,
S

@drmike: Agreed, but the intention of this post was to speak to the non-technical user as well, someone that wouldn’t inherently be in the WordPress community.
