A Niche of Their Own: Five Sites to Check Out Today
A look at bloggers who find their audience by doing one thing (really, really) well.
The blogging community is huge and diverse, with thousands of smaller clusters of sites built around shared interests, causes, and passions. It might seem daunting at first — like walking into a party where everyone already seems to know each other — but there are a number of ways to ease your entry into the community, from participating in a blogging event (or even starting your own) to taking one of our free blogging courses.
As the bloggers we feature here demonstrate, there’s another way to find your place in the big, wide world of blogging: zoom in on one thing you enjoy doing, then do it consistently, and well. From parenting to cooking to illustration, these bloggers found their niche and their audience by developing a hook — something unique about their posts that makes you want to visit them again and again.
Zounds, Alack, and By My Troth
There are thousands of humor blogs out there, at least as many illustration blogs, and a respectable number of sites devoted to William Shakespeare’s work. Ben Sawyer, the illustrator behind Zounds, Alack, and By My Troth, made his witty web comic a cross of all three, distilling the Bard’s work — sonnets, scenes, entire plays — into well-executed, smart panels.
From Henri IV retold to the tune of Semisonic’s “Closing Time” to Othello explained in five easy steps, Sawyer’s comics (and commentary) make you look at Shakespeare’s corpus in a fresh way — not an easy feat when it comes to the most studied English-language author of all time.
Read an Interview
Every Monday, readers can expect a fresh, wide-ranging interview conducted by Johan, the blogger who runs Read an Interview.
The interviews span a wide range of topics, and feature an eclectic gallery of subjects — from a police canine trainer to a designer of figure skating costumes. Regardless of who he engages in conversation, Johan’s curiosity, patience, and respect for his interviewees is evident everywhere on his site.
Things We Like
Who doesn’t love lists? Author Jessica Gross came up with a neat idea: a site dedicated exclusively to lists of things people like (you can send her yours, too — she accepts submissions).
Succinct and digestible, these lists, full of quirks and offbeat details, give a surprisingly good glimpse into each list maker’s psyche.
My Least Favorite Child Today
The web is full of wonderful parenting blogs, covering a wide spectrum of topics and writing styles. Stephen Hurley‘s dad blog, My Least Favorite Child Today, belongs firmly in the humorous end of that spectrum, with hilarious posts on the shenanigans of his young twin boys. (How hilarious? His irreverent post titles — like “He’s Not Teething. He’s Just An Asshole” or “Breaking: My Sons Have Perfect Weiners!!!” might give you a hint.)
Beyond the great writing, the blog also has a great hook: each post ends with a (mostly fabricated) rating of the twins, letting the readers track the always-changing state of Stephen’s affections. (If you care to know, Charles and Arthur are currently tied at 36 days each as least favorite child.)
Cooking in the Archives
If you’re a history buff, a baking fanatic, or any cross of the two, you’re bound to love Cooking in the Archives, a site where two literary scholars, Alyssa Connell and Marisa Nicosia, make their way through the outré (and often surprisingly appetizing) recipes found in early-modern cookbooks.
Full of fascinating commentary, lovely images of old books, and honest reviews of the results of their cooking, Marisa and Alyssa’s site is a niche blog that appeals both to fellow ancient-cookery geeks and to the wide, uninitiated public (so much so that it’s been featured on CNN, the Washington Post, and elsewhere).

Great blogs! I’d like to think my blog has a unique hook, something that has been honoured by the WordPress community with a Freshly Pressed feature on my blog “hook” – my use of the preposition “Of” to prefix my blog post titles. It is actually less unique and weird than it sounds – I was inspired by the first essayists, Montaigne and Bacon, to write “something about anything”. And make that into an entire blog. Thus, with posts with titles like “Of Having A Dreadful Name for A Blog” to my latest, “Of Sensuality”, a lot of ground can get covered!
My aim with my blog is very humble – to make readers spare a few moments thinking about an everyday thing, that they may not think about often, or at all. I do wish I could write something on recreating those deliciously “recreated” 18thC beer cakes though!

Off to check some of these blogs out now, but they look great! I like to think my blog has a hook. I scrapped an earlier attempt at writing a blog because I realized it did not have a hook. Like Not Enough Poetry, I think most of my hook is in my blog’s title-Soundtrack Of A Photograph. The idea was what if a still photograph had a soundtrack to it, in the same way a movie does. I recently revamped my blog to sharpen the focus from my earlier ones. One song, and only one photograph so it better reflects the title. Though I am happy with everything I have written, I like the new direction this is taking me in!

My blog Honoring the Heroine was pretty unique when I started it (the idea was to praise well-written female characters instead of constantly complaining about badly written ones), but there are now a few similar blogs or article series out there (not that I think that they are copies of mine, I guess I am not the only one who was tired to only read complains).
Movies and Lyrics is a little bit more unique, though it has multiple hooks…it discusses mainly animation, animation history and how music is used in animated movies. By itself, that is not particularly unusual, because there are a number of blogs about animated movies and a number of blogs about music, but I don’t think that there is one which combines all those topics and actually analyses the lyrics in the context of the movie.

This article is well-timed, as this topic has been on my mind a lot lately! (And thanks Ben Huberman for the link to the UVP post.) When I started my blog, Hungry Enough To Eat Six, it was meant to be an outlet for all the cooking I was doing and a way to share my recipes and writing. Though I love it, I have begun to worry that unless I narrow my focus and find that hook my blog will never grow beyond where it is now. As a possible hook I’m trying out posting recipes in a themed series – 6 at a time to tie the series’ into my blog name. I wonder if many food blogs go through a similar process of starting with a broad focus and then trying to narrow to a niche.
I appreciate these posts and the insights in other readers’ comments!

Hi Ben, thanks for sharing these blogs. How do you select a niche blog among the billion pages out there? What’s the criteria? I always wonder how can you WP editors select who to freshly press or feature as a niche, as it is not humanly possible to keep track on all blogs out there. Do the editors assign categories of blogs to check according to own interest/specialization? And do you focus mainly on North American blogs? I am blogging for over a year, and must confess that at the beginning I have wondered what that button (press this) was for until I asked around. I have to say that I never found a good explanation for how it works.
I guess that there is a stronger focus on promoting blogs/events in the USA. Are there plans to also host events in Europe?
Thanks for your attention.

Hi Lucile,
As you correctly assume, “it’s not humanly possible to keep track on all blogs out there,” so in our small team of editors we each rely on our own networks, mine the WordPress.com Reader and social media like Twitter where bloggers publicize their work, and use other search tools when we try to zoom in on specific topics. We end up covering quite a lot of ground, but no matter how many posts and blogs we showcase, we’re very much aware that we’re missing out on millions of others simply because of the sheer number of sites out there in the WordPress universe.
To answer your other questions: we don’t have assigned “beats,” though we do each have loose and ever-changing collections of topics and niches that interest us in particular (and many of those overlap — a couple of us love showcasing street art; all of us try to highlight poetry every once in a while, and so on).
We try to include voices from as far afield as possible, and have shared stories from dozens of countries and all continents (including Antarctica!). That said, we always strive to do more in that regard; while North Americans make the majority of our readership, WordPress.com is a global platform, and we’d love to reflect that as much as possible in the sites and posts that we feature (with the major caveat that for now at least, we focus almost exclusively on English-language sites).

Thank you for taking the time to reply and explain the way it works. Much appreciated.
It’s really a lot of work and it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. For that, it is commendable what you do, as you’re not many editors.
The same applies to all of us, who cannot find all the gems that are on the blogosphere, but you help us by finding some of them that we otherwise would never find. Thanks!
Do you accept suggestions from bloggers on other blogs and if yes, where do you send them?
Once again, thanks much for your kindness and all the best.

While I love cycling, I can’t expect broad readership to understand cycling itself or even know how to bicycle. I have some readers who tell me they can’t ride a bike but they like reading my other stuff. This way I get to interact with more different readers.
