Maintain consistency on what you do. If you're going to be talking about "biking", then talk just about "biking" or other things related to it. Find a niche or a subject that you're comfortable and knowledgeable about. Just focus on one major topic and write everything you know about that topic- everything you think that's educating, inspiring and entertaining.
