Nothing wrong in updating posts by adding to might not be good to delete parts or change paragraphs.

Nice looking dish there. Get people you know to write on blogs and hopefully if you make enough from ads treat them to a beer.

[...] Another side-effect of spending more time on the site mechanics the last couple of months is that I have just tons of topics that I’m wanting to post about. I look forward to sharing my thoughts again on a more regular basis. In the meantime, I’ll just marinate my posts for awhile until they make their way to the site. Related Posts: [...]

[...] I like to keep lists of possible topics and make notes about them when I can. I’ll bookmark any web page that seems like something I may one day want to write about and jot down random thoughts as they occur. Many won’t ever find their way into a post, but many will. Three pages I bookmark may end up as the research for a post. Random thoughts combine into something coherent and become a post. Not all post ideas come full blown. Sometimes you need to let an idea simmer for awhile before you can write it. Sometimes you need to marinate ideas into blog posts. [...]

[...] Practice – With time and repetition at blogging I’ve gotten reasonably quick at blogging. I guess I’ve developed a rhythm of posting that works reasonably well for me. Standard ‘newsy’ type posts take me as little as a few minutes to put up and longer posts (like this one) have a workflow that has emerged over time (I talked about some of it here). I guess practice makes perfect (or at least speeds things up). [...]

[...] If you don’t have a method for formulating ideas you should read the post on marinating blog post ideas at problogger, it has really good information on brainstorming and perfecting your posts. After all that they still want to know how to create compelling content. For this I go back to my days managing the production staff at the University of Houston newspaper. Even though I wasn’t a writer at the time I got the opportunity to interact with a lot of the writers. Here are some of the tips I remember about creating a compelling story that I learned. [...]

[...] Glen at LifeDev has a great post on letting ideas marinate for blog posts, which ProBlogger Darren follows up with his Marinating Ideas into Blog Posts – My Posting Workflow. Aside from creative endeavors like writing, letting an idea marinate can have other benefits, especially in relieving FUD – Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. [...]

[...] I just read a post on ProBlogger about marinating ideas for posts. What the article talks about is a workflow plan for writing posts that includes action items such as jotting down ideas on paper, creating a first draft, reading and re-reading what you have written and then creating a final draft. It even goes so far as to say that letting someone else read your articles for some constructive criticism is a good idea. [...]

Very nice post,
maybe by combining yours and Glen’s ideas I will manage to start some serious work on my first blog.
I thought that you write your posts on a laptop, and here is a surprise an old fashioned moleskin notebook :), have to try that.

And a question, Darren, do you use any kind of mind mapping (on paper, or a software like FreeMind) ?
I am just giving a try to the FreeMind, I’ll see if it works for me.

All excellent advice. I found myself nodding in agreement as I read because you have outlined my own process. But when I read 9 and 10 I realized why I wasn’t posting as often as I felt I should/could; I was “afraid” that I would post and then think of something later that I should have added in, but the post was done and published so there was no changing it,right? heh, wrong! You’re exactly correct in pointing out why that’s not true and now I know how to deal with something that was blocking me. Thanks! :o)

“I generally do this away from the internet (in a cafe with no wifi – just me and my notebook) where i have no distractions.”

Good one…getting away from the Internet [ironically] is the biggest productivity booster for me lately.

Wow Darren, great article. I’m glad you find the marinating ideas metaphor helpful. Thanks for the link ;)

Also, I’m glad you expanded on the post as well. I’ve learned a few things that I can add to my posting processs. I especially found 9 and 10 your article helpful. Many times bloggers think that once you hit publish, the post is finished. I’ve found it’s hardly ever true, especially the good posts. People will comment on the good posts, and a dialogue is one of the most important parts. You’ve hit the nail on the head.

Thanks again!
