[Andrew Sullivan's Dish](http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/) (fka The Daily Dish) is about as mixed-topic a professional blog as I can imagine, and it does staggeringly well. The core may be politics, but there are a _lot_ of other ideas covered as well.

Smaller business blogs would benefit from focus. Once you get a decent steady readership, you could try widening the topics and see how readers respond, and use that as a guide to whether or how you should expand.
