As a blog reader I get to know the rhythm of the blogs that I read. I don&#8217;t mind if they are daily, weekly or even fortnightly bloggers &#8211; but whatever their rhythm I find myself loosing interest if they disappear for unexplained periods of time. <b>So get into a rhythm of blogging.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I personally blog daily and dedicate 15 minutes most mornings while I drink my coffee to write something. I also often post last thing at night. <\/p>\n<p><i>I read somewhere recently that if you write for 15 minutes a day you will have written the equivalent of an average book in a year.<\/i> Set yourself some sort of goal like that &#8211; but don&#8217;t fall into the temptation of writing just because you &#8216;have to&#8217; &#8211; your content will suffer.<\/p>\n<p>One way to help each &#8216;bloggers block&#8217; is to <u>keep a file of ideas to blog about<\/u>. Rather than posting about everything that interests you in a day, keep a few ideas in reserve so you can post them quickly on a day when you otherwise might have been too busy or unable to post. <\/p>\n<p>Lastly &#8211; if you keep forgetting to blog (a common problem) you should check out this amazing new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fishrush.org\/\">Blogging Reminder System &#8211; The NoemicsPad<\/a>.
