I had previously (ok, a while ago) blogged about the evolution of a blog and how it went through many stages similar to relationships and it appears that many of you (ok, well, 10 of you) agreed with me on that one. Then, funny thing, I stopped blogging regularly.

Part of it was a lack of desire, part work got to be a lot, plus I was working on redesigning Linuxtracker. Its not that I didn’t have anything to blog about or say, we went to Las Vegas, we’re doing the Dave Ramsey program, the world is messed up right now, its that I would think of something good to write about and then promptly forget it. I wasn’t writing down my ideas.

That my friends is the key. Ideas are only as good as the people who remember them. If you write it down when you have it, even if its just a note like “woman who sued fiancee for breaking up with her is a bitch” you’ll have more to go on when trying to come up with a good topic of conversation. If you need help coming up with good topics, see whats happening around the blogsphere. Watch/read the news. Visit your favorite sites. Listen to talk radio or just observe life.

There’s stuff out there happening every day that is ripe for the picking…. you just have to pick it.
