About two weeks about, we asked what your blogging resolutions were for this year. Similar to last year, most of you mentioned a plan to post more often in 2012. There are many ways to find more things to write about out. On of the most fun is to just plug yourself into various social media outlets, like Twitter and Facebook, and just follow along to find topics that interest you. Instead of replying with a 140 character tweet, write a fully detailed post on your blog. Similarly, if you comment on someone else’s blog, you might want to write a blog post to go with it.

What’s your 2012 blogging resolution?

It’s been almost a month since we asked for your 2011 blogging resolutions. Though the response was low, we did collect some solid data.  The majority of commenters have made a resolution to blog more often, followed by a tie between finding a new theme and increasing integration with social networks. If posting more often is your thing, head on over to WordPress.com’s The Daily Post, where you can find new topics, challenges, and helpful musings every day as part of their Post a Day initiative. As for a new theme, finding free themes has never been easier or safer thanks to new changes made to the official Theme Directory. If social networking is your thing, try Simple Facebook Connect and Simple Twitter Connect. If you’re after better Facebook and Twitter integration, these plugins do just about everything. Well, what are you waiting for? Don’t wait too long on this […]
