- Blogging Tip #1 For The A.D.D.er
These tips can apply to anyone. I got the idea while reading Dr. Hallowell’s blog when he talked about getting the hang of blogging.
Some people may already know this, but for those that don’t here you go. Blogging is about writing. It’s writing when the idea hits you. It’s writing about what you know about. Even fiction is about something we have some idea about. But writing consistently every week can be difficult. I fall behind all the time.
I have 4 blogs I participate on and 2 that are just mine. This is one of them. Not to mention forums, email, etc. So how do you write consistently when you are writing so much already?
Strike while the iron is hot. By that I mean when an idead hits you. When you see something or realize something write.
You don’t have to write on your blog just then, but you should write down either the whole artical or just enough that when you come back you’ll see it. I like to use google notepad to quickly get my thoughts down. A great application for offline and online writing is ecto. It lets you write online or offline. It’s available in PC and Mac.
Let’s say you’ve just written an entire post but you don’t want to post it until later that week because you just posted. It’s a simple change to your post. Here are the steps for a wordpress blog, but it should be available for all blogs.
1. Create your post.
2. Save your post as draft.
3. Open the post up for editing.
4. In the right hand side is “Post Timestap.
5. Expand this and set it at a future date.
6. Publish.
This will then publish the posting to your blog on that particualr day.
Now you can write away without the headache of waiting or storing your idea until the next time you’re available. So strike while the iron is hot. Next week we’ll talk about another tip. Figuring out how to keep track of what you’re writing.
ps I wrote this Sunday morning.
