I need a ton of help with my blog. I don’t know how to exclude widgets in archives pages. I wish someone would help me.

:O)

This is very convenient for periods where I need more time to concentrate on other aspects of building a revenue-producing blog such as promotion, traffic building, networking, and the like. I can purchase the articles at fairly low prices (I have often found good quality articles for $5 or less) and put them up on the site immediately. The only real work that I need to do is to write a sentence or two at the beginning to credit the author and perhaps find an appropriate image to match with the post. If I can find at least three or four such articles in one search, it effectively gives me a “blogging vacation” and allows me to recharge the writing batteries.

Then there are those days where you have 3-4 topics to write about. You’re so eager to write them that you do and post them out 3 days in a row.

I’ve learned to keep a few (non-time dependent) posts in the drafts for a night when you just don’t feel like writing a post.

Just read through your blog’s comments, old and recent, and you’ll find lots of ideas for posts. Take a statement made by a reader and run with it. Make it the topic of a post.

Writing is, just as carpenting, pottery and cup cake making, a craft. The problem often arises when you’re not able to reach a state of flow, where the words magically fly from you fingers… when that happens, you need to open the writers toolbox. You did bring it, didn’t you? What you could do is… create a mindmap of random thoughts or turn of the screen and start writing (then you’ll care less about editing)…

There are so much more you can do, than just sit and wait for divine inspiration.

I sadly even have a pen and paper next to the bed so that when i am suddenly inspired I can jot it down. I’ve lost count of the amount of really good ideas for posts I have thought of whilst in bed only to forget them the next day!

One of my blogs covers local events so the weekly newspaper also helps!! If I get stuck for a post I read the paper and post one one of the articles. This method usually also drums up a lot of reaction and comments from my readers which is good.

I find that I have loads of ideas around bedtime but when I get around to putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) the next day I’m either too wrecked or can’t remember the fascinating topic that kept my mind racing the night before.

Sometimes I get an email or a comment that really perks me up and reminds me that I’m not the only one reading my blog and people do get something out of it, so that can be inspiring.

Another good source of inspiration is Stumble Upon - do a bit of stumbling and share some of the quirky stuff that you find with people.
