Blogging is a great way to let people know how you feel about a lot of different things. Blogs help you to ventilate your feelings and grievances and shows to the world what is going on inside that head of yours.
Writing down personal feelings in a blog post is easy, but coming up with a myriad of topics to write on is difficult. Therefore, one needs to know how to come up with ideas for blogs.
An Idea Log
Writing down what you feel at any given point of time will provide you blog ideas like no other. Carry a small notebook with yourself wherever you go.
Whenever a good idea strikes you, jot it down in your notebook. You can capture ideas for your blogs from the things that you pen down in the notebook. The notebook will be like a treasure trove for your blog posts. Surprise yourself with the ideas that crop up in your mind time and again.
Blog Your Passion
Everyone is passionate about something or the other and you are definitely no different. Exploring your passion is a wonderful way to find ideas for blog entries. When you blog about your passion you can write with no holds barred.
It will come naturally to you. You need not be passionate about something extraordinary to blog about it. If you were passionate about Indie bands in school, you can blog about them.
From Ideas To Themes
Organizing your ideas into themes can be a wonderful way to find topics for blogs. It is not unusual for people to channel random thoughts into themes. These themes can come in handy while writing blogs.
On Monday you can talk about how to complement attires with the right junk jewelries and on Tuesday you can talk about how to make money while sitting in the comforts of your home.
You can write on different themes on each week of the day. The themes can capture the imagination of the readers and they will look forward to the entries.
Your Blog, Your Idea
Your blog is the best place to find new ideas for your blog! Most of the times, it is the readers who provide peerless ideas for blogs. Going through the comment section of your blog might help you to come up with something unique.
Sometimes, questions posted by the readers provoke you to think and penning down these thoughts can be a wonderful thing to do. Spirited discussion among your readers can also be the source of excellent ideas.
Uniqueness Can Bear Fruit
Do something unique and different to garner ideas for your blog. You can organize a contest and give away something handmade to the winners.
You can create a blog post entirely with pictures and give a prize to the nth reader who comments on the post. Participating in blog memes might also help you to come up with ideas.
Other things like reviewing your most popular entries, exploring different kinds of blogs, inviting a guest author to write and being up to date with everything happening around can help you in your quest for ideas for blogs. So, go ahead and start penning down your thoughts.

I’m laughing so hard, because I just scheduled a similar post on my blog. Great minds think a like.
I find blog post ideas through forums, my followers, and my life. There’s inspiration all around us and even if we’re all talking about similar subjects, what makes it different is that we’re bringing our perspective. I love what you said about uniqueness and blogging our passion. That’s what really stands out for me and that’s what’s brought me loyal readers!
Fantastic post, Kelly

Another way I find blog ideas is by doing a search on Google Keyword Finder to see who is looking for what within a given topic. I’ll then take the results to a service like Ezine Articles and search with the words “tips” or “steps” included. This gives me an idea of who has been writing what for whom from which I can springboard an article idea from. Works very nicely as does a service I use called I Writer when I want to outsource the content of a particular project.

Hi there Damond, that’s quite alot there. is that going all on one blog? if it is then thats fine but if they are going on multipul blogs then that means you will be only updating your blog once a week which is not great.
You can check out my blogging shedule here http://kezanari.com/click-here-for-your-2012-blogging-schedule.html/
Hi Damond,
I can not change the subject every day like you did, for me one topic that requires an interest in doing it. But I do not know about the experts how they were work on a blog.

Simply talking to people about your niche is a big help too. Talk to people who know a lot and also people who know very little. Take note of the questions they ask and particular aspects they show the most interest in. It’s key to write for a broad spectrum of readers, and not just people who are on the same broad knowledge level as you.
Hi Kelly, Good thoughts on blogging topic ideas . Sometimes I think it is good to branch out to other topics even if you do happen to have a niche blog. It makes it more fun and I don’t think regular readers will mind too much.

Go with fresh topics. You’ll most likely to drive more people to your blog if you write something that is recent and newsworthy. Instead of rehashing the articles you’ve written before or instead of talking the same topics over and over again.
