To Post or Not to Post … That is the Question

Have you ever been panicked or feel desperate that you have nothing to post on your blog and you think you’ve run out of ideas?

Here comes the guilt or even fear. But should you post just anything so you’ve got something new up there? Don’t do it. Because a bad posting is always there, ready to replace your great blog.

Instead of publishing something meaningless and slipshod, it’s probably better to skip blogging for the day. If you’re lucky, you could end up with a meaningless ramble about nothing; if you’re unlucky, the post could be a black mark that could follow you for years.

As such, your blog’s credibility, as a reliable source of useful and informative ideas, is shattered. While one stray post might not harm your blog, a long series of desperate columns just might. Remember your readers arrive at your blog seeking interesting posts, and that that is the promise of your blog brand.

Don’t let bad posts happen to good people. The blog you save might be your own.
