I want to create a general blog about art and design. It will encompass music, theater, art, industrial design, fashion, and interior design. I plan on updating it 2-3 times a day. I want to use a magazine theme in Wordpress, like mimbo for instance. Do you think this has the potential to reach a lot of people or is this niche too full already? I want to put the effort into a topic/niche that is popular enough to get a lot of traffic, but I'm not interested in gaming or celebrities. So what do you think?
Wordpress is the best for blogs. But you should think that you are passioned for that. If you are not good in this domain, you have to hire someone or pick another domain.
i think enough people would be interested. Write a few article about the subject and link them back to your blog. Do a little social bookmarking, and people will find your blog just fine.
Wow, that Mimbo design is GORGEOUS! It makes me want to pop over to Wordpress for the first time and use it to convert my old blog and freshen it. Anyway, I like your idea a lot! I love the niche you're considering. There's so much different / cool stuff out here for you to blog about, I think your eye as editor is what will make the difference and help you rise -- regardless of how many other blogs there are already covering this. To me, it'll be about the content you showcase. You're already planning the posting frequency to win.
