If you don't have things laid out specifically, it really is easy to drift off task. I wanted to add, since you mentioned using flickr photos, that all blog authors need to take special care when using the photographs of others. Not all photographs that you find online are free for the taking, as it were. You MUST check for copyright or ownership before you use a photo. It matters not whether you link back to/give credit to the photographer. If a photo is marked "All Rights Reserved," for example, the only way you are allowed to use it legally is if you request permission and are granted said permission, by the original photographer. Many photographers put their work under "Creative Commons" licenses which offer the ability to do things such as use the photo as long as credit is given, without specific permission. It is imperitive that before you use a photo, you check to see if you are doing so within the legal limits. Sorry for the length, but I am obviously passionate about this topic. ;-) Great tips!

I've recently figured out that I can write my content twice as quickly if I write in the morning instead of at night. I also decided to shorten my list of blogs that I had subscribed to. I can still visit them regularly, but I don't need the daily updates. My newest favorite tip: When I bookmark a new blog, I add the person's name next to the blog title, so it helps me to learn names and I don't get mixed up. Thanks for these tips.

I was just trying to figure out many points that you stated, especially the daily goals and a blogging calendar. I do have pretty specific times I blog, beofre my daughter gets up for breakfast and a couple of hours after. Then once in the evening. I also check emails through the day. But, you are so right, it can consume all of your time quickly! That was a great post! I was just trying to figure out many points that you stated, especially the daily goals and a blogging calendar.
