What Makes A Good Blog

I read The Simple Dollar blog generally every day--it's what sparked my financial turnaround over a year ago and I'm still fond of it for that reason, although now it's more of a habit. Mr. Simple Dollar recently quit his job to become a full-time blogger, and shared some advice on what gets a blog traffic (and income):

"The thing is that almost all blogs out there on the internet--the kind where people talk about their pet cat and such, or ones that are very unfocused about the topics they write about, or are written in very poor grammar--don't get a lot of traffic."

Heh. It's a good thing I don't want to get any income from this. At least my grammar and spelling are up to par.

And doesn't everyone want to read thrilling stories about Toby L. Cat?
