Kristine, I knew you would be up for the spa treatment. I like the idea of Safety Friday. Tips in general make for great blog posts and I suspect the majority of posts are some kind of tip. A tip or tips taken to extreme would make for a tutorial as well.

Now if only I could make my Friday post something shorter and easier to write.

Sorry Forrest I can only help with the rejuvenation. You’ll have to figure out the juvination on your own. Of course, all of these tips should work in either case and let’s give credit where credit’s due and thank Darren for all the tips. He certainly has experience building and maintaining a quality blog.

One thing that I’ve found works really well for me is the idea you mentioned about tip posts. Because the blog I write is about, among other things, hunting safety, I instituted something I call “Safety Friday”. Every Friday I pick a different topic and write about how to be safe. I’ve recently written about heat waves, sun safety, water safety, severe weather safety, and a special Friday the 13th post about how to be safe during a natural disaster.

The posts have become popular and people enjoy reading them. They also give me an assured topic for one day of the week. It’s nice, because sometimes I’m all tapped out by Friday.

Good tips all around. I’ll have to try some of the other ideas you mentioned.

I think #8 sounds good – spa, wifi, pampering…. lets all do it!

I think you just created tip #8 – Find a spa with wireless access and write while you get pampered. I can’t attest to how successful this one would be, but something tells me that if you don’t come up with a good post at the salon you really won’t care. It’ll still have been a good day.

Actually, there is a hair salon/spa here in raleigh with free wifi! maybe i should blog from there. rejuvenation all around!
