This post opened up my apparently closed eyes to scheduling when to post. I don't have always have a mass of content ready at a scheduled time, but there's always something to reflect on during thelifedesignproject that will be useful to readers and myself...it will be easy to build into the system I already have as well. Thanks.</p> Great post JD. This post opened up my apparently closed eyes to scheduling when to post.

Loved the title, clever use of alliteration :)</p> <p>I agree that content is so very important, that is why you need to be passionate about what you write, otherwise you will run out of things to say after a few posts. Mostly I get inspiration for posts in random places, driving on the highway, eating lunch, shopping, and then i always grap a pen and paper and write it down before i forget the idea:)</p> <p>One of the bigger things about blogging that I son't quite have the hang of yet is traffic and subscribers. I'm guessing you'll cover that in your next sections, looking forward to it!</p> <p>Cheers! Diggy</p> Heya JD!

People who can do that are rare and blogs that are like that are rare (and awesome). You'd really stand out.</p> If you want a more detailed list of posts (and a lot of other awesome information) check out the Problogger.com book (not the 31 days to a better blog workbook, the actual Problogger book).

I guess "honesty" fits into the "passion" prerequisite. The more "real" someone's story is, the easier it is for them to engage you. This is why Tim Ferriss and Chris Guillebeau have so many followers. They are so much more authentic than many bloggers because they aren't just preaching, they're practicing it then recounting it from memory with hindsight.</p> Yeah, definitely.
