Personal productivity blog To-Done publishes tips on how to Be A More Productive Blogger

• Set aside time for writing
  (or podcasting, etc.) and stick to it.
• Create (and stick to) a publishing schedule.
• Keep an Idea Journal.
• Take advantage of creative highs.
• Take some time off.
• Read (not skim)
• Start with a title
• Adopt a conversational tone and style
• Connect and motivate
• Don’t fear failure
• Stay positive.
• Try something new.

I think I’m guilty of not abiding by half of the
tips.  I’m very erratic in my posting times, and I’m unable to
maximize my creative highs (mostly because they’re when I’m in the
shower and I don’t have a pen and paper handy).  An idea
journal–this is what I’ve recently started doing, and on hard copy,
not in a corruptible electronic form (that I expect to lose to software
or hardware problems sooner or later).

Sometimes blogging well, i.e. getting an idea across really
effectively, requires one to put in 25/8 hours/days participation, and
a 101% effort.
