Problogger, aka Darren Rowse, is always full of great ideas. His recent article, How to Improve Your Blog When You Have No Internet Access, is another bundle of them. Shared with a bit of a wink, they are some simple suggestions for when your access is down but you want to blog.
The most underrated one on the list is the last one.
Take a Break – perhaps the universe is trying to tell you something by conspiring to bring your internet down. Why not go with the offline thing and go for a walk, play with your kids, take your better half out for a coffee, have a sleep, read a book….. your blog will still be there when your internet is working again.
I find I don’t do this enough. Oh, I play on the computer and stuff, but I’m not really making some down time or taking advantage of it to enrich my life.
Origami has become one of my new downtime hobbies. Heck, I’m enjoying it so much I started an origami blog, Folding Paper.
Another great down time way to help your blogging along is taking picture. Bring your camera wherever you go, even if it’s a cheap one. Take pictures of people, architecture, plants, water, birds, and everything in between. This is a wonderful way to get your own stock footage for your blog. So many people ignore pictures all together, yet I continually get compliments on photos I include with blog posts.
Cheers,
Todd
