Evangelical Underground - Finding A Niche Within A Niche
6. Either you are a Christian blog or a Political blog, there is no “spoon.” Look, let’s be real. You aren’t going to put a different spin on the war in Iraq, and no, you won’t be able to work God or your faith into every post about Carl Rove. Pick a niche and stay with it. While I’ve ventured into the political arena often, I’ve always returned to my religious niche. I always maintained my blog’s identity as being of a religious nature.
Very interesting commentary. My blog seems to have stradled both the political and religious. I look at my blog as commentary on almost anything from my own journey of faith. I'll have to ponder this a bit more.
Posted by Tim at January 27, 2005 11:32 AMI couldn't agree with you more. My goal is to write about relevant issues to families within and outside California but always giving it a focus that is Christ centered. I choose my topics based on that fact. It is not my goal to reinvent the wheel just reveal political and newsworthy items which affect families. Because apart from Christ I can do nothing and nothing will improve He must be and is at the core of all I do.
Posted by: Paula Whidden at January 28, 2005 06:23 PMOne of the things I hope to read from an evangelical Christian blog might be comparable to what I expect from a hypothetical Catholic blog maybe written by the editor of the Notre Dame college newspaper. In other words, an intelligent view of the world from the particular brand of Christianity that the author subscribes to. Maybe clear as mud. Sorry, I'll think about it too.

I read a lot of how to blog posts and it was so discouring I quit blogging. One even said to be you and then turned around and said don't political blog because there are to many!
