Five Blog Posts for November

NaNo is only a bit over a week away, and if you’re also a blogger, you’re bound to be wondering where the time and ideas for the blog will come from. To help you out, I’ll be posting some blog idea lists.

You may want to write up one or two of these now and put them away for November! Even better, go ahead and schedule them to post so you won’t even have to think of it during NaNo.

1. Top posts.  Post a list of your most popular posts for the last month, year, or whatever. Use your RSS  or web page stats to see where most of your traffic is coming from.

2. Top search terms.  It can be fun to look at what search terms bring people to your site. Problogger even turns this into a fun contest.

3. Run a poll. You can even make it NaNo related if you like. Get help with the plot, naming a character or even picking a title.

4. Link to your favorites. What are you reading? Link to some of your favorite blog posts. Don’t forget to use trackbacks so the bloggers realize they’ve been linked to.

5. Update us on your novel.  Talk about what’s working and what isn’t. Tell us what your novel is about.

Don’t let NaNo catch you unprepared!
