I think you first have to answer the question about why you want to blog in the first place. Do you want to get revenue from it? Do you want to share your knowledge with others? Do you want to signal about how skilled/smart you are? Do you want to build an archive as a memory for your future self?

Then, after answering this question, ask yourself - is blogging the best way to achieve the goal? This is what led me to delete the small blog I had and concentrate on better things.

With regards to how you find other interesting things to read - nowadays mostly by marginalia search [1]. I've found that I rarely want to read more than one or few posts from a specific blog. Most blogs are not narrow enough and you find a lot of different subjects covered. So it might be better to specifically look for things you are interested in, rather than follow all articles in a blog by a concrete author.
