I get blogging ideas from visiting different forums and see the questions asked by other members and reply them on my blog

If you are serious about blogging, don’t be in a hurry to post even if you have a slightest idea. Find a silent place and devote some time nurturing that idea. Keep paper and pen handy. Keep jotting the key points which you can elaborate later. Now re-visit your points and add details. Re-check what you have written and think from a reader’s perspective. Check words and phrases and try to improve the readability. Keep thinking about making your post interesting. Search for any relevant images that can be included with your post.

To remain full of ideas, keep reading related books and articles. For example, if your blog is about fitness, keep checking books, articles and other blogs on fitness. Share your experiences with techniques that you previously followed. Don’t just preach, remain practical. I keep pen and small diary with me while I travel. If a slightest idea pops inside me, I jot it down and keep refining it for a few days.

Serious blogging is a lot of effort. If you are not serious, it is not a matter of concern what you write. It needs a slight discipline if you want to post valuable articles regularly.

I know I can delete comments from others, but I’ve read a number of blogs, including this one, that mention “editing the person’s comment” and the writer goes on to comment about how and what to edit, i.e. foul language ” *f—-,” etc.

Through Googles blogspot, it definitely says I am “not able to edit comments by others”. I can delete them or not allow then, but can’t edit them.

This is a shame because somewhere along the line, people will say note-worthy things, except for foul language. I’m going to want to do this, in fact, it’s already come up for a couple reasons.

Am I missing something about editing comments by others?… or is it just Googles blogspot that has this rule?

Thanks!

** forgive me if I’ve posted this in the wrong area. ‘Commenting’ is not something I fully understand how to do on posts by others.

Perhaps when the baby comes my inspiration will return.

Being new, I appreciate how much time it takes to post a carefully crafted article. I would appreciate any comments or criticism.

The Photo Finisher

Luckily, I don’t feel the compulsion to write X posts X days a week by a specific deadline.

I’m also shocked and amazed at the high-traffic blogs that are just reposts of other content. That’s really discouraging.

Facebook and Twitter are killing off some bloggers. Not necessarily a bad thing. Now if we can just get Blogger and WordPress to put dead blogs out of their misery.
