You get to the computer like you do every day, open up a fresh post to type something brilliant for your readers and suddenly you realize there is nothing there. Blank. Nada, Goose egg.
Instead of writing something lame like, "Nothing going on today... sooo bored", pick something from the list below. If you have a great blogging topic then please share it with the rest of us. Most are generic topics but some are topic specific so pick and choose which ones work for you.
Bookmark this page for one of "those" days so you can browse through the list for ideas. There are 250+ ideas to choose from -- so basically, no excuse for not writing about something.
