Chances are that for whatever subject you blog about, there's a magazine on newsstands. In fact, if it's something you care a lot about, you probably subscribe to related magazines, mailing lists, etc. Why not use those publications to help you find a topic for blogging?
Pick up the magazine and flip through it. If an ad or article catches your eye, stop and examine it in more detail. If it's an article, analyze what you've just read with an eye toward your blog. Did the author miss some key points that you can expand on? Is the article too superficial, and can you give a "meatier" treatment in your blog? Would people like a list of useful resources on that subject (a list you could research and post on your blog)?
