What I've learned after two months of blogging

So my blog has been going for two months now and hasn't died yet, which is a good sign. It's certainly a big step up from my last two blogs, one of which died within two days, the other perishing in its embryonic stage, beginning and ending with its first post. 

One of the smartest things I did right from the start was to decide on a number of things I wouldn't be writing about, and try to limit the scope of the blog.

OTOH, one of the dumbest things I did was tricking myself into thinking that I could write interesting, useful content about four different languages. This only resulted in watered-down, boring content. I thus ended up making a decision to write only about Chinese. The blog is now starting to get focus. Focus is good. In the blogosphere, "Bangladesh Textile Industry Watch" beats "my random musings about politics, food and life in general" any day. The general gets lost in the shuffle while the specific stands out. 

The blog in its current state is not finished, it will most likely go through some more changes before I'm happy with it. My goal is to find an even smaller niche for it and then settle into posting an update once a week. Until then, the content is not going to be uniform in quality or character, but I will do my best to ensure that it is always interesting. Thanks to anyone who's reading so far, if there's anything you like or dislike, feel free to point it out.
