Part of the process in selecting a topic for your blog is to consider the topics you already read everyday. If you get up each morning and go to all your favorite websites on sports or celebrity gossip then that’s a good indicator of what direction you should go in with your new blog. The problem then becomes how to best manage your time when you want to write about these topics.

You can easily kill an entire lunch break by manually going to every one of those websites you enjoy and scrolling through looking for new content. One of the things you’ll learn with blogging is to streamline your process of finding content, formulating your ideas, and then publishing your work quickly.

Instead of using hours inefficiently scanning the Internet landscape you could be using RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds and bringing all your content to one place using free services like Google Reader or my personal favorite, NetVibes.

RSS readers like these will bring content from all of your favorite sites in to one panel view where you can quickly scan for new material, consume it, and move on. Faster is better and when you can save time researching you’ll have more time for writing.

My recommendations on building your RSS lists for reading is to consider the sites you already enjoy. See which websites they link out to and add those sites’ RSS feeds to your reader as well. This will be the source material for much of your blog and now you can do it in a fast, efficient manner. You’re one step closer to being a better blogger.
