I think writers block is probably the biggest thing that is on a bloggers mind, even beyond site maintenance and “how to make extra cash off of your blog”.

New and creative content is the only thing that separates blogs out.

I've blogged a little here and there, but never could get anywhere with it. I'm hoping your ideas will actually get my site somewhere.

I think you'll find a lot of interest out there in that sort of content. A few things you should look at / thing about: * ABOUT page - it's got nothing on it. * Who are you guys? People will want to know. If they don't know and can't know they won't care as much. * Read <a href="http://www.copyblogger.com" rel="nofollow">copyblogger</a> religiously on how to write better blog posts. * Network online - start leaving comments on other blogs and connecting, like you've done here. * Write more personal stuff but also give details. Your posts right now are very thin in both. * Get rid of the calendar in the top - it's useless. Put pictures of you and your partner there with an explanation of what you're doing. * Get rid of all standard WP things - like your blogroll *smile* Hope that helps! Hey Naked Jonny,

Kudos for writing a blog about your entrepreneurial adventure. I think you’ll find a lot of interest out there in that sort of content.

A few things you should look at / thing about:

* ABOUT page – it’s got nothing on it.

* Who are you guys? People will want to know. If they don’t know and can’t know they won’t care as much.

* Read copyblogger religiously on how to write better blog posts.

* Network online – start leaving comments on other blogs and connecting, like you’ve done here.

* Write more personal stuff but also give details. Your posts right now are very thin in both.

* Get rid of the calendar in the top – it’s useless. Put pictures of you and your partner there with an explanation of what you’re doing.

* Get rid of all standard WP things – like your blogroll *smile*

Hope that helps!
