If you have lots of topics that don't fit together, maybe you should consider two or three smaller blogs. Just a thought. @Tim – Thanks for the kind words.

I tend to forget also, to write down my ideas and of course I can't remember them. Great blog you have going here! I'll be back for more inspiration.

I have a bunch of blogs, how many do I post to - 2....and it was sporadic up until recently. And of course your number 2 - Write Content is a true close second. Don't think for a minute that getting a bunch of free content from article sites is going to make a good blog - use those as inspiration to put your own spin on a subject.

I learned my lesson and now spend a good amount of time planning new blogs. I do thorough keyword research way before starting new blogs. Planning is always a good practice before taking on any endeavors. I have often started new blogs on the spur of the moment.

From both interest level of amount of potential traffic and more importantly your own interest in the subject. Sure, you might see someone else doing well in a niche, but are you going to be motivated to write about it everyday if it's something you aren't really passionate about?

It looks like you've got a great blog started. It's always good to see more attorneys blogging. Blogging and running a solo law practice is difficult. I've spent a lot of my time focusing on my law firm and its <a href="http://www.andrewflusche.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a>. But I still find time to post here at Legal Andrew. Chad,

I just started a law and politics blog in Chicago called chicagobarrister.com. Check it out, I'd love some feedback. I am also an attorney. Have you been able to keep up the blog and your practice at the same time? Must keep you busy! Very Interesting. I just started a law and politics blog in Chicago called chicagobarrister.com.
