If anyone is tech blogging, he should be very crucial on the content he is writing should be different from all, he should not write what everyone else is writing. Moreover he should make out a blogging strategy before starting a tech blog if he wants to get best out it.
Ashish: Before making a post how you analyze it ?
Rishi Says: Before writing any article/post, I do a search over Technorati on the stuff I am going to blog on and if anyone else have written about it or if anyone has written, what does he think on the topic and what does his readers think ( through reader comments ). I do a full analyze over the topic and then write it.
