For example, there’s several pizza, bacon, hot sauce/pepper, pie, burrito, cereal, and many other food item specific blogs. There’s no doubt these are enormous commercial segments and persistent bloggers can quickly qualify themselves as expert sources in these specific fields. If nothing else, it’s a good way to get some free stuff from the industry and their PR people who certainly notice us.

Rob, I bet there are hundreds of SF food blogs, unscientifcally, they probably are the largest food blog regional population, slightly beating out NY.

I’m a long time blogger and understand how it’s easy to miss a large portion of the blogosphere since I still do, for instance, I myself added Problogger to my must read list only a month ago, and am astounded by the number of pro-blogging blogs.

I guess there are many blogs out there on numerous topics that we just don’t know/think about … the interesting thing I find with these “lifestyle” blogs is that they are more and more these days trying to earn some revenue from them – which shows that there is revenue potential in just about any topic or niche.

There is a thriving community involving photographs (does my blog look good in this), eggs (end of month egg on toast extravaganza), food parcels (euro blogging by post), desserts (sugar high fridays), wine (wine blogging wednesdays) and many more.

I have/had a food blog and used to keep up with them. There are probably as many food blogs as there are church blogs, or gun blogs, or fitness blogs, but unless you go looking you wouldn’t know they are there at all.

This comment isn’t making as much sense as I’d like, but the point is there are tons of blogs out there we never find until we either go looking, or find a cross over blog. A blog on multiple topics that points in to other spheres.

Domestic Goddess is one of the nicest sites I’ve seen for a long time, and apart form the blog, it has recipies and great photos.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a mother myself and struggle with lots of challenges related to raising my family so I’m grateful for the information that’s out there. But I’m also a working woman, a freelancer, concerned with finding balance between my job and family life, worried about walking the line between “having it all” and “doing too much.” I wonder how other single women in my demographic handle single motherhood and dating, social and business networking, how they stay up-to-date within their profession if they work from home, etc.

Like I said, I think many of the websites/blogs out there for women are very valuable but when it comes to finding information outside of raising a family, the options are few. Or perhaps I just haven’t found them yet.

Thanks for pointing us to this site.

We’ll use the info to our advantage.

My wife loves posting on her food blog as much as any blog she writes for.

I’d be interested to hear what people perceive as being the least well-served subject areas in terms of blogging, in comparison with their offline popularity.

It may be that there are no blogs on that subject, or they are not of a sufficient quality, or only a few areas of that subject are covered.

Sorry for steering this topic off-course.
