Where Does Blog Content Come From?

So far I have resisted the temptation to write about my blog, on my blog.  For over 270 entries not a word from me about this topic, that has become such a big part of my life. 

People ask me if the content I have on the St. Paul Real Estate Blog is my own and if it is original.  I can answer yes to both questions.  Occasionally I have someone else write or contribute but I credit the person in the post. 

Blogfood(c)  is a term that I just invented.  Defined as any source of material or ideas that can be used to generate words for a blog.  Here is a partial list of where to find blogfood(c)

1. Read blogs -hint, use a news aggregator, or feed reader to quickly read 50 or more blogs.
2. Go out to lunch with a friend
3. Listen to what your children and parents, they have a different a perspective on just about everything.
4. Teach a class – I can’t think of a better way to learn.
5. Watch T.V. – city council meeting in these parts are entertaining, and HGTV has an unbeatable program line-up for real estate bloggers.
6. Listen to customers and clients.
7. Go to funerals, weddings and baptisms.
8. Visit government web sites they are often packed with useful information, except for the  most excellent IRS web site that mostly has information on how to pay taxes.
9. Read Newspapers
10. Walk the dog, or walk alone.
