For a ton of bloggers, it is sometimes difficult to decide what to write. Personally, I NEVER run out of content, but sometimes run out of things I actually want to write. LOL! So, this Blogging Basics is about finding and using content.
I keep a notebook with me at all times so I can scribble ideas or draft out posts. As I use one, I mark it out or rip out the page. Anyway, here are a few ideas you can use to help you keep the content ideas coming!
Tip #1 – Scour The Internet! Don’t print it, don’t save it, just scribble the idea or your thought on it! Later, you can write your post. If you saw some good points that you want to refer to, scribble the link! This way you can give them link-love and credit for their post!
Tip #2 – Compile! Make a Top Ten list of some of your older posts. This is one of those 2-fold tips. 
Not only are you bringing old posts to the front of your blog, but you are writing a post.
Tip #3 – Revamp! Pull an old post, update it, change it, add to it… I prefer to write a new post and link to the old one, but some prefer to redo the entire post.
Tip #4 – Subscribe! Subscribe to HARO. This is an awesome tool! Journalists send in a pitch to find experts, etc on a specific topic. You can share your knowledge, or write down their idea to make your own post.
Tip #5 – Link Up! Have you written a series of posts? Link them up in a single post! Sort of the same as #2, but number two can be any random posts and this one is a series of posts. My Blogging Basics post last week was an example of a Link Up!
Do you have a way that you keep the Blog Juice flowing? I would love to hear your Blogging Basics tips!

I like the idea of re-doing and re-using older content. I never really thought about that. Thanks for the great tips!
@Brittney,
Just be very careful of HOW you do it and don’t do it all the time. But, if you have a post that you wrote moons ago that just didn’t get the response you wanted, go for it
Thanks for doing the posts on blogging basics. I have collected a lot of great info!

Margaret,
I have tried to be very careful to use simple terms. 
I am so glad you are finding my blogging basics helpful. I am loving bringing my readers this (very simplistic) info! I can search all day on pro blogger blogs but half the time I do not understand what they are saying.
