Looking for blog topic inspiration? Use Zemanta default picture!

Posted by jure, under blogging experience, zemanta on November 15th, 2008

With NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) at the middle, a lot of us bloggers are wondering where to get that one more idea for a blog post. Where to take the inspiration from?

Defalult Zemanta Pictures at the time of writing

Luckily for us, Luke Gedeon, presented an excellent idea – use default Picture in Zemanta. He writes:

 

So why am I telling you about this? Because I happen to know a few people who are having trouble thinking of something to blog about. Here is my idea: Install Zemanta (or get me to do it for you) and then pick your favorite each day and tell why you like it, or use the pictures as inspiration for a post. That is what happened with the Zebra post yesterday. Try it. I will be fun!

Mr. Wizard then took this idea and ran with it even further:

I thought I’d put a little spin on the idea and write a haiku:

It’s now up to you to either use the initial screen image for inspirational blog post or even as initial idea generator for a haiku.

    How are the default pictures chosen? Is it just random?

    They're the most interesting Flickr pictures at the point in time –

    I love the idea of Zemanta but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out. Help! If I'm on a friend's blog and want to quote from it to my blog, how do I do that????? Is there a tutorial for “plucking” from others and maintaining the credit to their blog? Thanks.

    The only way you can “reblog” right now if your friend is blogging with
    Zemanta. Otherwise you can just install Zemanta Firefox extension to get
    recommendations to different web places while you write.

    Heh, if there is no idea for blog post then don´t blog.
    It¨s much better to write when you have some interesting idea, than trying to write something only because you must…

    At my old job, I used to send a Haiku to the staff every Friday. It became a great tradition. The Haiku is such an underutilized form of communication.

    Blog posts do not always have to be the most 'interesting' some of my random blogs become my best pieces. I love the idea of a haiku, and pictures make a blog that much better, go on with your bad self.

    Is anyone familiar with the shadow creek apartments in Hamilton, Ohio? I can't seem to find any reviews..?
    I'm relocating to the Hamilton area in a few months and researching the area and apartments there. Shadow creek is one of the complexes on my list of possibilities but i can't seem to find any reviews on it at all. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the apartments or has heard anything about them? Any info would be extremely helpful. Thanks =]
