WinnerWind i'm curious how people come up with the 'topic' of their blog. i only have one blog and im not sure how i can categorize it, especially because i BARELY update it.

[capjamesg] I don’t have a topic for my website. Even when my site was called James’ Coffee Blog I still wrote about other things.
# [capjamesg] I much prefer seeing my site as a place where I can publish my writing than having separate places to write different things.
# [capjamesg] Tags and categories are a good way of grouping if you want to have a page you can link people to for a particular kind of writing (poetry, technical) or on a particular topic (HTML, life, coffee, etc.).

[KevinMarks] In the Blogger days, we'd spin up a new topical group blog and invite other people to join it so they could use posts instead of comments to respond
