William Bryan Man I had an awesome post to write yesterday. I thought about it yesterday when I was with my friends at a bar/lounge and then when I came home, nothing I totally forgot what I was going to write about. Has this happened to you? What do you do when you have an idea to blog about and you are not near a computer? It really made me angry and I don't want it to happen again. thanks in advance.

Luckily though, we have made advancements in the technological world and don't have to have anything more than our Smartphones. In my phone, I have a notes section where I jot down all kinds of things when I don't have paper nearby (sometimes even my grocery list). If you don't have a smartphone you could always just text yourself the idea before it gets away.

Brigid Slipka Have you changed the topic or scope of your blog? How did you do it? Advice? Did you also change your url? My blog is about fundraising/philanthropy/nonprofits, but I'd like to expand it to allow me to write about all the other things that pop up in my head. The best topic I can think of that encompasses everything I want to write about is "philosophy" or even "living." On the one hand, that feels so broad, but on the other hand, I don't want to limit myself.

Lately I have been writing more about general topics, such as the design process and inspirations, using old posts as hyperlinks to tie it all together. Keep at it, its all worth it!

Miri McDonald Today marks my 2 month anniversary blogging on mirimcdonald.com. I'm curious, what do people think is expected in terms of blogging regularity? I've been doing 1x a week. Too infrequent? Opinions. I'd also welcome any feedback on my blog voice/topics, etc.

I've built up an expectation of one post per day, so when I miss a day...that sucks. But if you're posting once a week, as long as you don't miss a week, I think you can do just fine.

I have been blogging for years and have built a pretty good following averaging just two posts a week. As others have stated, it really all depends on your content and the target audience you wish to reach.
