This is a part of the Blog Topic Idea series.

The comment section can be a treasure trove for getting topic ideas. Every now and then, one of your blog posts would garner a lot of comments. This shows that your readers care more about that particular part of your niche more than the rest. This is quite an obvious hint that you should elaborate and write more about it.

Also, a post loaded with comments, gives you more than a handful of perspectives for a particular topic. These individual perspectives can themselves be blog post on their own.

For example, at KalaaLog, I wrote a blog posts: No More Photoshop – Use GIMP. I got a lot of comments there – and they were in depth views of the readers. Just reading through those comments, I could make out some of the strong points that people raise to justify piracy, and it was quite easy for me to write another spin off – Top 3 Reasons To Pirate Photoshop.

I guess there will be some new bloggers who think that they cannot use this tip. You see – I said Reader Comments – and they may not be readers of your blog. Go ahead, and look at other established blogs in your niche. See which one got more comments that the other posts and you can apply the same technique.

It has been quite some time since I started to blog. Presently, I have two ‘official’ blogs (Splat, KalaaLog) and a personal blog. And having those blogs means I need to keep writing content for them. Sometimes, it becomes hard for us to come up with topics to write about.

Over these months, I have quite a couple of things under my belt that I use to get topics to write about. I thought I would share it with you all. So, expect a small series of tips on choosing topics to blog about. I will try to give my own examples wherever possible.

There are two main things that make or break a blog – content and visibility. These series of posts would be focusing on the content creation. The other side of the coin, in my opinion, Mayank would be the best person to talk about it.

The following list will be updated as the post of the series are updated.

What are the ways you get topics to write about for your blog?

When it comes to networks, one facility which one always enables is File and Printer sharing because what’s the use of a network where we can’t share the files. However, when it comes to accessing the Public Networks then File and Printer sharing can be bad for us and our computer. But, if then you want to share a file with one of your friend, then you’ll need to enable the file and printer sharing and thus enabling the risk too!

In that case, one of the solution to share the file is Internet and we can share the file by either uploading it to some file sharing sites like RapidShare, DivShare etc. or we can send it through Email as attachment or we could either write the file on a CD and then send that file. Sounds too slow…??? Indeed it will be one of the slowest method of sharing the files.

However, thanks to Skype because it helps us share the files at a blazing speed and that too without enabling the File and Printer Sharing. You just need to be under the same network and you must be logged into Skype and the transfer rates will be done according the Local network speed rather than the internet connection!
