Though I agree most people should probably think about whether or not they’ll be able to blog long-term (just ask yourself if you’ll be interested in writing or discussing what you plan to blog about five years from now), I’m of the jump in with your cloths on type of blogger.

Once you’ve done it for a while, you learn what will and what won’t work.

Until then, read as much in your niche as possible — it’ll inspire you and help you gauge whether or not you’re up for the challenge: posting every day, tweeting about, getting social with the web community, etc.

I’ll admit, I wish I heard this advice a few years back.
