Default Adding some personal blog post.

I was planning future blog post and was thinking of adding a monthly blog post on my random thoughts. My blog is health and fitness with it mainly dealing with endurance sports triathlons, marathons, etc. Would this ruin what my blog is about? And the monhtly post would be sometimes in the health and fitness areas. I think I would keep politics out of it though. Any thoughts? Good idea or scrap it?

Thanks

I don't know much about blogging (yet?), but as a reader, I'd say it's a bad idea. I don't mind reading random thoughts sometimes, but if I visit a site specifically for health, as in your case, I'd rather not find some anything too off topic.

If your person posts were related to health and fitness, however, I'd say go for it.

Talking Depends why you are blogging

Hi,

blogging tends to mean more that one post a month. If I were you I would think about why you are doing this, who will read your posts and what will you and your customers get from it.

Yeah I am with you all on personal say memiors thats not health and fitness related a no, no. I do think I wil add a monthly personal blog post but it will be 100% health and fitness. Examples might be about the solidtude of an ultramarathon. My opinion of having cheat days on my nutrition. Another is looking at other athletes outside my sport for ideas and inspration such as Bruce Lee, Jerry Rice, etc. How does that sound?

An off topic post in your blog every now and then is okay - just shows your readers that you don't live in a vacuum.

But if you plan to make it a regular event, why not create a separate blog for it?

You need a theme and you need to post regularly.

I think personal posts are fine, as long as they relate to your blog's theme -- which it sounds like is what you're planning to do. Create a new category for them. This is also the place to experiment with video or audio podcasts.

Whoever said blogs have to have themes?

Why not just write about whatever you feel like, and try to make it useful, entertaining, and even controversial, for your readers to enjoy.
