Blogs are like diaries, except open to the public. There are blogs on every topic imaginable, and if you like what a blogger writes about, then you can follow that blogger. The best bloggers write on topics that people want to read about, and they write, as one blogger who blogs about how to be a good blogger, "epic shit."
There are people out there who believe that everybody should be blogging, based on the thought that writing regularly is a path to self-discovery. And a blog is a great way to build a network of people who come to respect you for your ideas, so is the ideal tool to help realize goals and dreams, even if you don't have a clue what they are when you start out blogging.
Blogging is a great way to establish yourself as a world-class expert on a topic. If I stuck with this blog, I could become an expert on "teenage blogging as a path to career enlightenment." And I can't state enough how important it is to write compelling content. It's more important than correcting typos.
As with everything worth doing, blogging is worth doing well. (Note: I don't think this blog counts and I am doing it for school credit and in order to become more comfortable writing.) And don't get hung up on a topic. Sometimes when you start writing, the topic just appears to organize itself.
