Go, Derrich…It’s Your Birthday!
Well, today is my birthday. *bow*bow* And I’m going to take a little break from my blog today, but I thought I’d at least leave you with something.
The Cure For Bloggers Block
In case it’s NOT your birthday today and you feel a little discouraged with your blog…beaten down by writers block, Dan over at TheWrongAdvices.com (Austrailia’s #1 slacker) has written an informative article about why blogging can be difficult and how to overcome blog burnout. Here are some of those solutions:
- Be yourself, write honestly and openly.
- Learn from successful bloggers, but try not to mimic them.
- Don’t second guess yourself, or obsess over what you’re writing.
- If you write it, they will come?
- The best way to make yourself successful is to help others be successful.
Dan goes into greater detail on his blog; be sure you read his solutions to blog burnout.
If that didn’t whet your appetite, Gregg Hawkins also has an interesting series of posts, each of which feature a different way to increase your blog’s traffic.
Birthday Presents Go Here
All I ask are two things: [1] Place your vote in Round 2 of the 2007 Bloggers Tournament, and [2] comments would be nice. 
And here’s a Family Guy video for your enjoyment: How Old Is Meg?

I like how you said “the best way to make yourself successful is to help others be successful.” So true..The help you give now to someone, may come back later on when you most need it
