What makes a good blog anyways?

Today as I was advocating the beginnings of my first blog to my family around the kitchen table I encounter an interesting question.  “Why should I read your blog?”  Worthwhile question to be sure.  But how could I answer their question if I was not even sure of the answer for myself never mind a host of other questions.  What will this blog be about?  What is the purpose, the intent, the goal?  Or is there one?  Will it just be a little insight to the thoughts and ponderings of yours truly or have common content and theme?  What makes a good blog good anyways?  These are some of the questions that began to whirl through my mind.

It sounds mundane and stereotypical but my intent is to do a bit of all of this.  I will not be purposefully advertising a specific overall theme, but as you get to know me and I share my thoughts one may become evident.  As you read it is my hope that you would get insight into what is running through my mind.  As I continue to share, more common strains, ideas, and themes may come through.  Not intentionally, but as a result of simply who I am.  Hopefully that is at least in some regard interesting.  Insight into the life of Matthew Walton as he breaks the mold he has found himself in.

Does that make for a good blog?  One worth reading?  Well… I guess we will find out!
