I would also add to what sdoering said in their post. Make sure that your content is something you're comfortable and passionate about. This comes through at some level to your site visitors. If you are blogging then it is usually best to keep this blog within a certain field. Look at what blogs you regularly read. What is it about those blogs that keeps you going back for more. Don't go chasing readers or potential employers. If your content is good, relevant and informative in a certain field then word soon spreads and your users will come back for more. Im not saying that sticking to a certain field is the only way forward as we all have opinions about most subjects that crop up in our daily lives but usually it is good practice for gaining regular visitors to your blog. A narrow subject field helps to target a certain type of visitor thus encouraging the right type of target audience. e.g potential employers. After all is said and done the best thing to do is just get it down on paper and go for it. Your ideas, design, writing style, readers/visitors will evolve as time goes by.
