The Chicago Perspective

A very important part of blogging in a particular niche is realizing what other material is out there that can help you in many different ways. These other blogs in your niche can provide a different perspective on a similar topic can offer a different median for followers and can offer general help on your blogging topic in general. During my time blogging, I have had many days where I get sidetracked and venture off to look at other blogs to see what others are offering. Some blogs I found offer some great insight into many of the things I have discussed while other steer completely away from what I am trying to communicate. However, time and time again I am drawn to a particular blog not only because the blogger writes quality information on all things Chicago, but also because he offers a very unique perspective on the Chicago Bears. The blog The Chicago Perspective, is written by blogger Joe W, who offers a unique view on all things Chicago. What initially drew me to this blog was his work on the Bears, but I quickly realized he had very good insight on other Chicago teams. One of the biggest things to realize when writing about a Chicago sports teams is that Chicago fans usually support more than one sports team in the city. This is not only because many people who live in and around the beautiful Chicagoland area adore the city, but also because the city has had a strong tradition of winning. Whether it is the Bears winning numerous titles in the early 60's and 70's or the great Bulls teams of the 90's, Chicago has always been blessed with a winning atmosphere. Through this connection, I believe the Chicago Perspective has done something wonderful in attracting more than one Chicago sports fan to his site. I feel as though Windy City Blitz would be able to attract a different audience if we tried something along the same line. That would not only provide current followers with new material to follow but also to attract a new crowd and get them as pumped on the Bears as many are already. Another great thing about the Perspective is the tone that it is written in. When reading the blog, I feel like I am sitting at a sport bar talking anything Chicago with this blogger and nothing could be better. It gives me the feel that I am not just reading the words in front of me and am instead having a deep conversation about the topic. So once again I have to give a shout out to The Chicago Perspective for not only giving some valuable information and knowledge about the Bears, but also spreading the love throughout the sports teams of Chicago. So until next time readers, Bear Down Chicago.
