Modern Life is no longer updated.
After a long hiatus due to increased working commitment, lack of inspiration, and unclear goals: I've decided not to rekindle this blog but to start anew in more fertile soil. Modern Life will remain online as-is for the forseeable future.
I'm now posting at my new blog, User Interfaced.

Stuart, that is very good advice. I myself started out with a blog about a huge and wide topic, Apple, Technology and Electronic Lifestyle... but that was so obviously a failure, that I tightened my niche.
I did rake in visitors with my original idea, but no-one ever stuck. It was a quick and dirty way to get some interest.
I then switched my blog over to one about Student Life and Student Productivity, which focusses a topic that hugely successful blogs like 43folders and Lifehacker cover, but narrows it down to just students and studying.
I try to keep this close target audience of college students, but the information on my site is written in a way that it may be of value to anyone (or at least, I try.)
With the new, obscure idea I struggled for visitors, but recently there's been some pick up and I'm sure someone out there will eventually reblog me :-) .
