Some great tips especially the first one which I can definitely back. I started doing series posts probably about 4 months ago and they help so much when your lacking the creative energy and thinking cap to come up with new articles daily.

The second also seems like a great idea however when your lacking a community vibe on your blog its hard to see any feedback from this although I ll keep trying.

Thanks.

How funny! I just started two ongoing series this month on my Genetics and Public Health Blog – a weekly genetics quiz on Saturdays and a weekly featured blog (tying it in with genetics and disease, of course) on Sundays. It makes it easier for me to have new posts on the weekend, which I can prepare ahead of time during the week.

Yeah. The series idea is a good one. So is the archive idea.

It’s similar to an idea a professor off mine once told me. If you’re asked to write a paper on something you’ve already written about you should use your existing work. It’s much faster and its not cheating since you wrote it in the first place.

Revisiting an older article allows new readers to benefit from older wisdom..

Pretty slick! :)

You know what there is therapy in commenting on someone else blog to get you going again. As soon as I commented here I felt like working again. The apathy is not all together gone, but its waning. My fiance is going to kill me if I don’t clean up this house though. Blog, eat, and then clean.

I think ProBlogger is being realistic here, when he talks about revisiting old blogs.

I think you will find he has got an excellent stock of blogging articles all lined up, but partly the problem is comments (in the way of excellent advice) from people here will be reducing the value of his stock. Others bloggers will quite happily re-publish ProBloggers advice under their own blog and then get comments from other bloggers to add value to it.

There will be no option but to somehow remix what has already been said and done. Ofcourse what makes a blog special to me, is the creativity and imagination of how to pull something out of thin air.

Hah, start a series? I call that “How to put pressure on yourself”! I’ve done three “long short stories” in series form now and they don’t half bring me out in a sweat. But it’s true that there’s no room for apathy once you’ve started something like that. The blog must go out!
