What to do?

    I have a blog set-up under the domain www.sam-designs.com; I have already designed a wordpress theme for it, but I don't know really what I can do with it.

    I'm not sure on what content I could base it on, or how I could make money from it.

    I'm quite new to blogging, so all ideas are welcome.

    Thanks,
    Sam Designs.

    You could always write about design tips if your heart is set on writing a blog? Make the 'Sam' stand for something design related and make a nice header.

    Otherwise I would have thought it was more suited to a design company?

    I registered the domain a while back, but I no longer design templates for money. =\

    Well then maybe it would be a good idea to set up a designing community or something, so there could be a forum, people could put their portfolio on there and put up their tips for designing? Or you could just make a blog about designing? These are just my ideas :)

    You could write reviews on some of the best theme around and provide your reasons why it is good. Provides tips and guide on how to select the best theme and which design works best depending on requirement. Just my thoughts....

    Would making a blog unrelated to design be unwise?

    Well, it would seem a bit silly and also misleading, for example if I went on dinghyracing.com and it was about iPods I'd be a bit baffled

    True. It's just I don't have many ideas for what to write. It's a shame changing a domain name isn't cheap and easy.

    You could always just buy a new domain if you're unhappy with that one. It'll only cost you around $6 per year for a .com, and you could probably sell SamDesigns for a bit more than that.

    You could go and sell the custom theme that's on it

    It's nothing that spectacular.

    You can put some adsense ads at your blog to earn $$

    maybe you could write something about Surface to Air Missile designs and how they can be improved. If you get really lucky the U.S MOD might be interested and hire you. its just a crazy idea that could possibly work.

    nevertheless people might be interested to know how those missiles work especially 3rd world guerrilla fighters.

    you can tryu to sell the domain, as you don't know what to do with it.
