Another great option for getting quality content on your blog (Quality over Quantity, as I’ve said a million time) is to get others to make it for you. While I’ve never had any other content on this blog other than my own, I’ve read quite a few that have quality content that’s written by somebody [...]
It’s worse than bloggers block. When your mental inkwell runs dry, all your writing suffers. You’ll find that even writing letters to family members becomes a challenge. As you sit, staring blankly at an article you’d yet to write, you realize that you have a problem. However, do not worry, my fellow bloggers. There is [...]
As a follow up to my article on Why I Try not to Stumble-Upon StumbleUpon, Stumbling is incredibly addictive, and can be detrimental to your blogging, by consuming vast quantities of time on the web that you could be spending doing something creative. However, there is a way to use StumbleUpon to your advantage.
For many bloggers, the problem with blogging isn’t coming up with content (though if that is a problem, see Easy Content), it’s coming up with too much content. Which is, oddly enough, a very common problem. Most bloggers call it Blogger’s Block, and it affects bloggers throughout the blogosphere. If you feel like your doing [...]

The fact is that pretty much everything you read online has been said elsewhere. Even the topic you write about now has been written in a different way by a different author. It is rare to find new information and chances are [...]
Tomorrow, I will begin a ten post series on reviving the eagerness to blog and all the post ideas that you had when you began blogging. The irony of the series is this: This is my solution to the fact I’ve been suffering from blogger’s block. At one (or more) time(s) in [...]
There’s been a lot about how to consistently write articles, but I want to focus on how publishing articles for the sake of publishing should be a cardinal sin. If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it. If there’s no meat to the article, or there’s nothing that hasn’t been stated before, [...]
In a search for a sense of community on this blog, between you, me, and other readers, and to build a community on the blog, I’ve decided to open up this page to any comment you’ve got out there. The only guideline: it can’t be a normal comment. It cannot be a proper comment, it [...]
StumbleUpon is a great tool, and it’s amazingly entertaining, but it’s also a terribly easy way to lose time that you could be spending writing/blogging. I admit, today, I’ve spent over an hour, Stumbling the internet and all it’s goodies. And today’s a school day, too. Thousands of pages get Stumbled, and i can say [...]
Pandora is perhaps the best tool out on the “Market” for free internet radio. I personally find it incredibly easy to focus when I’m listening to Pandora on my iPod Touch, and so do many others. I endorse the listening of music while blogging/writing, and personally Rock out While Blogging whenever I blog. It’s become [...]
