Most, not all bloggers hit the dreaded wall called Bloggers Block. You blog, but you either fall into one of the following:
1. You’ve reached a plateau with your site, and just cannot seem to write any more.
2. You really are not sure what you can cover on your site. (For those with businesses, you might be scared of spamming.)
3. You are afraid you might be copying other sites in your niche, that may be covering the same topics.
4. Juggling family or personal issues.
There’s a solution for all of these!
I am going to go over some tips to help you overcome Blogger’s Block, and get you to think outside the box when coming up with loads of topics for you. Don’t let search results scare you- your blog voice and your knowledge can do wonders for you!

Three Ways to Improve Citizen Media in Belarus: learning from the Westevgeny.morozov
This document discusses ways to improve citizen media and blogging in Belarus. It suggests three main approaches: 1) increasing the number of in-depth, analytical posts; 2) legitimizing blogging as a serious activity beyond a hobby; and 3) making the blogosphere more accessible and useful to journalists and professionals. Currently, blogging culture in Belarus focuses more on short, personal posts rather than longer commentary, which discourages busy people from blogging. Introducing more merit-based content sharing and localization of blogging tools could help address this by appealing to serious bloggers and professionals.

Online Community Building at Social Media Masters AtlantaPatrick O'Keefe
These slides are from my "Online Community Building" presentation for the Social Media Masters Atlanta in Marietta, GA on August 26.
The question isn’t whether or not you have a community. Your community – the people who love and support what you do – is out there. The question is how you engage with them. In this workshop, we’ll talk about community management and engagement in spaces you control and spaces you don’t, from Facebook and Twitter to forums and blogs. This is the art of community building on the web, both the good and the bad, steeped in real world experience.

It recommends focusing on creating high-quality on-site content first to build authority, and to only guest post on authoritative sites where the content would be something to be proud of sharing on social media.
