Why isn't this a better blog?


As of right meow, I would not consider this blog very marketable.  If it were to go viral, I would be very surprised and wonder what is wrong with the world [wide web].  To draw a crowd, it would need a purpose other than to complete class assignments.  It would need some sort of specialized area of focus, a mission statement, and probably some sort of social element.  While viewers are able to comment on my posts here, it would make sense for users to be able to create threads in a dedicated corner of the blog.  Throughout the rest of the blog, there would need to be new content being updated continually.  To do this, I would either need a dramatically larger amount of free time, a subject that I’m very dedicated to, and realistically, probably a team of trusted contributors.  That way, the team could constantly search for more content and bring the best of what they find to our popular blog to engage users.  The specialization of the blog, whatever it may be, would need to have a variety of subtopics within the broader scope to engage a wider variety of users and to make it a more easy-to-navigate, user-friendly blog.  That being said, what should the topic be?
The Great Hamburger Blog? Vintage Audiophiles Galore? Mathematical statistics and accords of every Phish song being played live and when? Oh wait, that exists.  The best live "Dark Star" and other songs by the Grateful Dead? that exists too.
