Avoid grandiosity. Avoid throat clearing. Your first blog post needn’t be a grandiose mission statement. And your first blog post doesn’t have to be a vapid, self-involved introduction to your blog. Instead, find one thing that interests you today and write about that. Use the prompts in the “What should I blog about” section above. For reference, you can read the first blog post on this blog, circa 2010: Be on the Mountain.
