Blog buffer

I’ve gotten off to a good start with my new blog in my opinion. The hardest thing about blogging in the beginning is thinking of things to write about. I’ve had a few websites before, but all of them ultimately grew stale without any new content. So the most important thing is to just start writing and keep up a steady pace.

But what should I write about? Sometimes it feels difficult to think of things to write about, while at other times there are many things in the news or that have happened that are worth blogging about. The solution I have for this problem is that on days that I have many ideas, I create a bunch of posts with only a heading and save them as drafts. This way I can always choose a ready idea if I’m out of ideas when I want to write.

Another type of buffer that I use sometimes is the delayed publishing feature of WordPress. The feature lets me write complete posts and schedule them for publishing at a later date. This way I can spread out posts written on one day over the next few days if needed. From a search engine perspective, it’s important to keep a site regularly updated to keep robots indexing the site at regular intervals. These are a few tips that can help you keep your blog alive and active.
