Right now I'm not sure how we are going to change things. I anticipate focusing on one area in the future, but I have been more than busy just getting the site how I want it lately. Thank you Katie.

If you want to streamline, take a look at what you're already writing about and see if you can pick out a niche that you really enjoy - something that Internet communities are based around and that has people craving more specific information. With my general humor blog, if I wanted to mainstream it, I might turn it into a blog about the tv show, "Lost". I do episode recaps and fun facts/screen caps about it while the show is running. It generates the most hits for my blog. And I have a ton of fun writing about it. Plus there are a ton of Lost fans and communities out there. So what is your niche? What is one thing you blog about that gets you fired up and draws a crowd? Movies? Sports? Advertisements? Videos? Cars? Products? Mocking other blogs? Good luck.

Which topics do you most enjoy Blogging about? Those are the topics you will want to focus on. Unfortunately that isn’t really a question that someone else can answer for you.

Now the question would be what to do and how to "streamline" the topics. I'm at a loss right now. OK, so let’s say the site is too broad.
