I mentioned The Blonde's interest in doing a blog. She wants to do it on nursing, where she feels she has a lot of knowledge to impart. Of the commenters here, what's your expertise, the field on which you think you can really expound for all the world to see? And maybe critique?

You know you have one.

                                

edutcher was wondering...

The Blonde and I returned to one of our favorite controversies yesterday - whether she should start a blog.

Here's a woman with 43 years' nursing experience in many fields - oncology, communicable disease, rehab, med-surg, etc.; a great diagnostician (she can tell by your smell if you're sick), excellent knowledge of medicines and their interactions, and so on. She wants to do a Q&A format - kind of a nursing Dear Abby or a legal Althouse.

So, the question is,  you want to impart knowledge to a great many people, particularly those in your profession, what's a good blog format? And how do you handle comments? Or is such altruistic thinking a wasted effort?

Or do you go the Althouse route and keep it general with an emphasis on your strong suit?
