We’ve all been there, you know what I mean one of those days where you sit down to write a blog post but can’t think of anything to write about. We all have them, a lot of people when launching a new blog or project are hyped about it and can easily write the first week or two but after that people seem to get bored of updating daily.

I am regretfully guilty of this, I have been working on updating the blog everyday but as you will notice I have been unsuccessful to continually update everyday. Going over google searching for “Motivation to Blog” I found almost nothing that helped.

People seem to forget their blogs after just a short while. So I am going to offer a few tips in which I use to try and remember to update my blogs and websites.

Sticky Notes - It doesn’t get much simpler, than a sticky note placed on your monitor that says “UPDATE TEEN WEB DEVELOPER”. Every night before you go put the sticky note in the middle of your monitor, you can’t ignore that every morning.

Custom homepage - My custom homepage has rss feeds relating to web site industry news, I have 5 to 6 rss feeds giving me a great source of up to date news and information to blog on each day, I also have a really annoying flashing ad that say exactly what my stick note says “UPDATE TEEN WEB DEVELOPER” but in flashing black and white. While it’s very annoying it is effective.

Another great way I try to remember to update my blogs is by setting an alarm on my cell phone. I have mine to go off at or near 1 pm, since me being a teenager who does online school I am never up before 12 pm. It’s a great reminder and its very simple to both set up and use.

Looking at other websites that are a lot like yours can give you some great ideas, don’t rip the exact same topic from them but use it as foundation for your own Unique post.

Of course these are just a few of the ones I use I’d love to hear what everyone else has to say so please feel free to comment and give us a few of your ways to stay motivated and remember to update your blog.
