So I want to start a blog for my city and surrounding areas. There are a couple of problems I am facing. First, I have never blogged a day in my life. And second, what the heck should I blog about?<p>According to Wikipedia my city (Santa Maria, Ca) has a population of about 102,216. The population was spread out with:<p>31.4% under the age of 18<p>12.2% aged 18 to 24<p>28.6% aged 25 to 44<p>18.3% aged 45 to 64<p>9.4% who were 65 years of age or older<p>The median age is around 28.6 years. For every 100 females there are about 102.2 males.<p>Agriculture is the main money maker around here. Primary crops include strawberries, wine grapes, celery, lettuce, peas, squash, cauliflower, spinach, broccoli and beans.<p>I have no idea what readers might be looking. So, my questions are:<p>* Is it a good idea for me to blog about random topics and tie to them to my community until I find a niche?<p>* Or should I focus on finding my niche before I write a single word?<p>Thank you in advance for any advice.
