Writing a great blog is difficult if you’re not accustomed to writing for an audience. Everyone seems to be blogging these days, and no one quite feels complete unless they’re attracting and maintaining a loyal readership. Choosing the right content and writing about it in a compelling way is bound to win you readers. If you sharpen your writing skills and write regularly, you can build up a faithful readership and have a successful blog.
Approaching blog writing takes a singular intensity not unlike the intensity required to run a successful business. Plenty of bloggers approach their blogs as a small business, and they should! People are making money from blogging, through Internet advertisement. Focused businesspersons think about everything, from a business plan to ways to save money. They’ll simultaneously search out a business coupon while at the same time brainstorming a new advertising scheme. They’re not willing to stop and get complacent. Even when focusing on something as small as business software coupons, they maintain a singular focus.
Writers with blogs should approach their own “business” with a similar intensity. Begin by selecting a general topic of your blog, such as politics or business. You should have some overarching theme, regardless of how you choose to implement that particular theme. For example, there is a subset of bloggers known as “mommy bloggers,” who write about topics as broad as child rearing, home economizing, working motherhood, child safety products, among other things. Sometimes they review products, and other times, they’re just telling an amusing anecdote. The most successful bloggers note which posts garner the most attention, and then tailor future posts to that arena. By maximizing posts that attract comments, you stand a greater chance of getting attention by trackbacks and the like.
You should write in an accessible tone, even if your subject is arcane. One never wants to alienate readers by using “inside baseball” talk, or confusing readers with too many inside jokes. Leave that for the comment section! Getting to a point that you have a loyal readership is dependent on fostering a sense of camaraderie, but the entries should not confuse new readers.
Most of all, choose a subject for which you have great passion. You’re far more likely to come up with compelling content if you have an enthusiasm for the subject at hand.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):
The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.
I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.
The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.
I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
