I like number 10, that is really the most important one. There are a number of online tools out there to help you get some inspiration, check out <a href="http://www.lonij.net/wordstorm/" rel="nofollow">WordStorm</a>. It is a visual brainstorming tool, it makes a map of associated words. It is a great way to get inspiration or some completely new ideas. I've used this tool in some recent articles I wrote, it helps a lot when you get stuck. Keep up the good work. Nice list. I like number 10, that is really the most important one.

My company sells blogsite services to businesses. Our clients, who typically are not writers, also wrestle with the task of writing for their blogs. I recently suggested they seek out material in their inbox. My post is at: http://blogsite.com/public/blog/102736 -Carol Hi Mark,
