An atttneion-grabbing dialogue is value comment. I believe that it’s best to write extra on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

1) TED Talks. Wow! Amazing
2) Creative Commons Flickr photos are great inspiration for metaphors for thinking about big ideas and blog posts.
3) New books like Dan Pinks “A Whole New Mind” or “the Starfish and the Spider” or “Join the Conversation”
4) My RSS Reader. I read you Chris G, Valeria, Chris Brogan, and often Logic + Emotion.
5) Digg & del.icio.us & PopUrls. I think i’m going to be using
All Top a whole lot more. Its like drinking from the fire hydrant.
6) The latest indy flick I rent or music track I hear.
7) Fast Company magazine

Great post!

Topic Ideas – Comments, midnight random thoughts, other blogs, and a little bit of research. Ah yes, and stumble upon of course.

Graphics – Stock Exchange and Flickr

And of course boredom is a great resource.

I only recently started blogging, and at this point I have only been sticking to subjects I know or stuff from friends. I had not considered building up resources honestly!
Thanks for making me realize I should with a well written post.

Nice article. I blog about designing blogs so I draw a lot of my resources from the web design community. I tend to read a lot of books and follow other people’s blogs for ideas. I also have a deep interest in psychology so I draw ideas from that as well.

Gee Lorelle, you’ve been around as long as I have. :)

Besides the ones you mentioned, one great resource is Google’s News Alerts. Plug in your keywords and you’ll get the latest news on your subject. Since I write about lighthouse news and preservation, it’s a great way to learn what’s going on in the world beyond my own little geographical area.

For images, you can’t go wrong with Flickr, Community Webshots, WikiMedia and Stock Exchange. I couldn’t do it without them. And since lighthouses are a photographer’s dream, I don’t think there hasn’t been one I’ve not found.

Other online resources for me include the Smithsonian Institute. Also, archived collections from various states and universitites.

And for my subject, lighthouses, there is no better site than Lighthouse Directory, a vast collection on most every lighthouse in the world to give me a quick background on the light.

I keep all these in bookmarks on my computer (old-fashioned I know), with backups. I’d hate to lose my collection (and they’re not appropriate for social bookmarking).

Hello,

I’ve started my blog recently, so I currently building my blog resources. So far, I subscribed to plenty of blogs via RSS. I also joined one community that focuses on the topic I post about.

My other ideas:
-books, newspapers
-just life
-friends and readers

Cheers
