Blogging Tip for the Day: Photograph Your Desk

Some bloggers—maybe you?—do hit dry spells where coming up with one more blog post just seems impossible. Maybe not even desirable.

And sometimes, just sometimes, you need something quick and easy to get yourself back in the game. Enter the desk photograph.

Long used by experienced bloggers who are casting about for something, anything to blog about, the desk photograph has two major things going for it. First, it’s a photo. Every blog reader likes a good photo. (And photos take up a nice chunk of space on the page, too.) Second, it lets people get a glimpse of part of your life that they won’t otherwise have access to. Use a desk photograph to give people the proverbial 1000 words, without writing a word.

The photo in this blog post is from a post on Peter Flaschner’s blog Almost Cool. He doesn’t say whether he was stuck for a blog topic, but we know better.
