I have written a lot of posts that are of various topics, from productivity to blogging and programming and now I am trying to get my head together about what kind of topics I would like to blog about from now on.

Having a definite purpose helps you get away from confusion

I don't want for people to think that this blog is just a blog about everything, and more importantly I need to be aware of this fact because in the process of thinking you can easily get distracted from your goal and end up writing about everything without a purpose or reason.

Giving this blog a written purpose

I want for my blog to capture my adventure in the web development business and I believe that now I should focus my writing in 4 categories:

1. Blogging -- or writing because content is kind and what better way to learn to write content if not by writing?
2. Business -- or marketing because a business will never thrive without promotion.
3. Design -- because a good design will make or break the content of the site and although I am not a designer I do intend to develop my basic skills.
4. Productivity -- because we all need to be productive in any fields of working, and productivity should be a top priority on all of our lists.
5. Programming -- because a good site needs more than just html and css... I will focus mostly on django and python related topics but also jquery or javascript subjects.

What this blog isn't going to be

1. A blog that might not miss even the self-imposed minimum 1 post per week -- Because in a later post I will tell you how I changed my view concerning quantity vs quality, and a blog post takes time and effort to write even for the simple topics.
2. A blog where things get promoted out of my will to make money -- If I make reviews, and I will recommend something, it is because it brought value to my operation not because of affiliate gains or other promotions.
3. Posts written in Romanian... I would rather start a different blog than to have this blog also written in Romanian... part of my motive for writing this blog is to improve my English not to stick to the comfort of my native language.
4. Lack of controversy -- I might write things that are of my opinion, and where I might be wrong I do expect for you the readers to respond to my opinion although I give no guaranty that I will change my mind or not... this is a personal blog of my discoveries, and not everybody shares the same ideas in the same way... all that I can promise is that I will respect your opinion but reserve my right to stick to my opinion.

Writing is easy, reading is hard

I know for a fact that writing is easy, I see blogs popping up every day and this blog can be put into this category, but it's the reading that is a difficult thing to do.

With so much information available most people just read the subheadings and glimpse over the comments and call it a day on that posts... so with me knowing this behavior I would be careful and write things that are easily scanned because if my headings can't convey the message of my paragraphs that I've missed my purpose of delivering a well written posts.

How about it? How do you feel that my writing style is? What would you suggest I do differently? I can only get better with help from you... the reader... and if these posts help... than by all means help me get better :)
