I had a much easier time writing out suggestions for blog posts on my blog than actually following that list. However, if you are having a hard time getting over the NaBloPoMo hump, here they are.

P.S. Some of my favorite bloggers participated in that interview, and somehow I missed it! Thanks, Neil.

Do the ad thing. Seriously. So long as you don’t have obnoxious, flashy things or pop-ups, nobody will care. I don’t, when I’m looking at blogs. I’m a former ad hater. But if you spend a lot of time writing and entertaining, and really think about your writing, why *shouldn’t* you get something extra for it? Again, nothing obnoxious, but if they’re subtle and just sitting there, I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s not selling out or going all corporate if you just stick them on your page and forget about it and not think of how much you’re earning. Go for it. You’re certainly popular enough for decent revenue!

I don’t have to sign up for this or advertise it or anything. Check my archives; I’ve been posting every day for years.

So there!

Is there blogging Viagra out there to improve vitality and performance and make you go longer and harder?

Check your bulk mail box, I’m sure there’s a cure for blogging breakdowns being sold by a company in Mexico.

Here in Belgium, when you run out of things to blog about you shake down the kitchen for world-famous Belgian beer and chocolate. Not only do I get blogger block here, I have the very bad bad blogger butt thing going on….

[...] Yesterday, I complained about NaBloPoMo and how difficult it is to post every single day AND comment elsewhere. Of all the responses I received, I found this one from Mo to be the most interesting: I think the fun of NaPoBloMo is the crappy posts. I love seeing inside my favorite bloggers a bit more- and what better than the stuff they come up with in order to write every day?… it’s fun to break down the definition of your “perfect post”, and post things you would ordinarily dismiss. I think it helps expand us as bloggers/writers. [...]

Actually, I have slowed down a bit. I used to be able to bang out four or five posts a day, but I don’t seem to have the same fire anymore.

Stop writing and get your ass over to my blog and comment.

(heh heh)

Seriously - I’m thinking about cutting down on blogging. My right arm (the one I scroll with) is starting to tingle and I think that might be a bad thing …)

I started a blog as a way to make myself write everyday. So far, I’m pretty consistent, so the Blogblome (as Scott so cleverly put it - sort of)thing hasn’t been much different in that respect. The problem for me has been the damn randomizer thing. Have you used it? It’s totally addictive. That’s the reason I’ve been neglecting some of my regular blogs - that and my regular blogs are posting everyday so there’s more to read on those as well. What a lot of self-imposed pressure.

As far as ads are concerned. I love the idea that people can make money from their blogs. I try hard to remember to click on the ads because I know you have to on some in order to get anything.
