We all have one of those days where we really don’t have anything to blog about. It’s not exactly writer’s block, but more of “observer’s block:” nothing really seems to be happening that can be useful content for our posts.
For that reason, I’ve composed a list of five ideas for a blog post- when you really don’t have anything to post about.
1- Your favorite website
Know a web page that you enjoy, yet does not seem to attract many people? Talk about it in a blog post and introduce people to the site! You don’t have to advertise; just talk about why you like it and what it is about.
2- Content bank
This isn’t an idea for a post as much as it is a backup plan for when you don’t have much “bloggable” content. Keep a page of posts on a word processor that you can submit to sites whenever you don’t have anything to write about. In other words, every so often, write a post in a “backup” page on a word processor; when you don’t have anything to write about, post an entry or two from the document.
3- Ask a question.
Bring some interactivity into your blog! Ask how the weather is outside, how many pets users own, or how satisfied people are with the site. You’ll get comments and hits relatively easily.

4- Give ‘em a recipe!
Talented chef? Spread your knowledge by giving users your favorite recipe. It can be for anything, from your favorite type of PBJ to filet mignon- users will appreciate having a new item to impress the in-laws with. (Although PB and J may not be the thing for that.)

5- Post a pic!
What’s your favorite image on your computer? Post it on your blog to attract both eyes and comments. Ask users to post their own favorite images to make the post even more interactive!
