What is a sports blog? A sports blog is a blog that tackles

about sports. A sports blog is a niche blog.

What makes a sports blog unique?

Sports blogs have niches inside a niche.

Usually, a sports blog is more on the analytical side.

Even athletes and print, TV, and radio sports analysts have their own blogs.

Many sports bloggers would go on to have sportswriting careers in quad media.

Blogging in the Future Bloggers will become a source of

news. More sports fans will turn to blogging. More bloggers will be considered for

online news site jobs, maybe creating their own too.

“I want IBlog to become…” …a “training camp” for young and

aspiring bloggers. …a “refresher course” for veteran

bloggers who seem like they’re losing ground in the blogosphere.

…a channel for people from the other forms of media to look at the online newswriters.
