I noticed myself that if something doesn't pass the personal investment filter it doesn't pass a benefits filter (why clog the blog world with my take on things). Thanks, Lorelle Just musing out loud, does it make a difference if one says

or Would my readers expect to see this here?

I noticed myself that if something doesn’t pass the personal investment filter it doesn’t pass a benefits filter (why clog the blog world with my take on things).

Thanks, Lorelle

If it doesn't match content, isn't interesting to your or your readers, and you don't have the personal interest in the issue, then you won't blog about it. There are times when I've found an issue that passes 3 out of four of these filters but the last one cut it from my publishing queue. It changes from time to time, but it happens. Often it's the time the research will take, the personal investment of time, that kills many a topic that I'd like to do well, but I just don't have the time at the moment.

If you don't use an interest filter firstly, all others are useless, thats true. Nicholas, the same for me. If you don’t use an interest filter firstly, all others are useless, thats true.

You're right about filtering. But I think as long as you can tie the subject with the focus of your blog then you'll be fine. My basic filter is an interest filter. If it interests me and if I can twist it to make it more in line with my blog focus then I'm ok with it. I figure, I want to attract readers who have the same interest as me. Lorelle, great post.
