I subscribe to many different blogs, and many of them I enjoy. Most of them are technical in nature, but a few are not. But one thing I am finding out is this: the blogs that are successful, the ones that have a lot of readers, and a lot of commentors, are the ones with a theme. It doesn't seem to matter what the theme is, as long as it has one.
So how does one come up with a theme for a blog? My life has many facets that are exciting to me. Whether it be work or play, I've never narrowed my life down to just one thing. So how does a blogger do it? How do you boil everything else out of your life until you have just one thing to talk about?
Everytime I post here, I realize more and more that this is pointless. If there's no theme, it won't be found, and if it isn't found it won't be read.

I wouldn't worry about a theme. Write about the things that interest you. Someone somewhere will surely relate to at least some of it.
If you limit yourself to a theme, you might not post something that you feel doesn't fit, and then some people will miss out.
Maybe you could, if you wanted, start more than one blog - one for the tech stuff, and one for the everyday other stuff.
Up to you, of course, but IMO you have an interesting blog already, with something for everyone.
