What can I write blogs about?

Blogging this year hasn't been high on my list of things to do.

The main reason is because my laptop hasn't been working since mid 2011 and I've not got round to getting it sorted...


However in the occasional times I have decided to write a blog, my mind goes blank and I can't think of a subject to voice my opinion about.
Sometimes I get half way through writing a blog and then I give up, sometimes I write a load of nonsense and then delete it all before I publish it...

Sometimes I simply don't get round to the publishing part of writing a blog, and when I do, the topic is out of date; I feel that publishing it would be a waste of your time and mine...

So if you have any suggestions for topics I can write about please either email me alazystudent@hotmail.com or leave a comment below!

Writing a blog without a topic...

Starting a blog with no idea as to what topic you are going to be writing about... Probably one of the most difficult things to do on a dreary Saturday afternoon.

OK, so it might not be as difficult as performing brain surgery, piloting a space shuttle or even understanding a foreign language, but it is difficult nonetheless!

Which is why I have almost wiped the screen about four times already and started afresh...

I thought blogging would be an easy task. After all, it's simply writing down what you think and clicking publish, isn't it?
Well, not really... I have a tendency to want to produce high quality work, in whatever medium I am working with at the time, and as a result, I often find I need to satisfy a certain quality I set myself before I offload my ramblings to the world to read.

It is the same when I am working - having worked within a video production based environment for many years, I always try to create work that is as good as possible. (Follow this link for my video production history)
Therefore, why should my blog be any different? Which is why I want to write interesting articles that keep the reader engaged until the end.

I have decided to try and write a blog a day, although this will really depend on whether I have any thoughts that I wish to share or not, and whether I feel they would warrant an article being written about them!

In the meantime, please leave any comments about what you have read so far on The Ponderings..., and also if there are any topics you think I should try ad write about please let me know!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

New to blogging.

Hi everyone.
I'm fairly new to blogging, but everyone seems to do it, so I thought I would have a go at it.


In fairness, I'm sure this is just a passing phase, and I will stop after posting a few blogs. Mainly because that's how I am... I get all enthusiastic about things, and want to do them NOW! 
After a while, I don't have that same enthusiasm, and I lose interest and give up or undo all of my work.


As I'm writing this blog, I'm already having no idea as to what I want to put into it... I have sooo many questions about blogging already -

• What should a decent blog contain? 
• Should I reveal all my deepest secrets? 
• Do I keep the topics light and "fluffy"...? 
• Should I keep my blogs silly and random squirrel bananas?
• Should I fill my blogs with random thoughts that I have? (Or is that what status updates on FaceBook are all about?!)
• How often should I post a blog? Is daily too much? Is once a week enough?

I would like some input! .. So if you have a blog and have been blogging can you give me 3 pieces of advice?


I might take it on board, I might not... (Although at this stage, I will probably take on board most of what you can offer!)


I hope you enjoy my blogs, and continue to read them. If so, I will continue to write them!
