I know that many of us who blog have trouble coming up with topic ideas, so I wanted to talk about that. I just read a post by Marcus Sheridan called Why “Interesting” is a Very Overrated Blogging Quality. He's right: sometimes we freeze up because we think we can't blog about anything interesting enough. But whatever your industry, there's a plethora (yes, I said plethora) of topics to cover. I sometimes have to step away from my blog to think of new topics. Here are some general ideas:

• How tos
• Editorials
• Your opinion on news or trends
• Piggyback another blogger's post
• Definitions of key terms
• Announcements
• Book/product reviews

I also find inspiration in the weirdest places, like in things I see while driving, magazines, my family...where do you find inspiration, and what do you do when it's hiding?
