Carving a niche

Far be it from me to pass out bloggo-tips, but I do think it’s important for the average blogger to differentiate his brand. We can’t all be closely reasoned conservatives and libertarians on the one hand, and foam-at-the-mouth, tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists on the other – it’s a buyers market, and it’s difficult for new folks to set up shop.
So it’s important to specialize: As I may have mentioned before, anyone searching for stultifyingly obtuse political opinions interspersed with the occasional sea story told by a super-annuated naval officer who once flew FA-18’s, but now commutes by motorcycle up and down the 5 in sunny southern California has very few choices apart from the digs of your humble scribe.
I know. But still.
And yet.
And yet –
And yet, enabled as I have been by the magic of technorati, I can’t help wondering if certain people are casting rather too narrow a net.
Here’s a blog that links to my post, “Always a bridesmaid.” Which really had very little to do with bridesmaids. Unlike the blog, which is about bridesmaids, apparently.
And here’s another that links to my post in re: Geo. Washington, and his famous spectacles. It’s about eyeglasses.
A blog about eyeglasses.
I believe that the wave might have passed – it may well be time to catch another.
