Don’t you just hate it when you really need to update your blog and draw a blank? Well, one of the best ways to jump start those creative juices is to simply look at the calendar. How simple is that?

Every month, week and day, there are some really strange, fun and downright funny holidays and observances celebrated everywhere. In fact, you can even make up your own ‘holiday’ to celebrate on your blog with your readers – that’s how easy it is to come up with days of posts at a time. But you don’t have to make it up yourself. It’s hard enough coming up with a post. Here’s a blogging calendar I found that feature some of these holidays. The other nice thing is, it has room to jot down your own ideas and you can use it to literally plan out the year’s content – or just a month or two ahead if you’re not the planning type. This really helps keep your blog going without rushing to write last minute posts.

Download and check it out for yourself. I bet you can find a couple of posts just off those dates you can write about. In fact, you can write about them right away and schedule them. Your readers will have fun and marvel at how you are so on top of the holidays and seasons.

I’ll tell you all straight away that I am a WordPress fan! I love it. It makes blogging and web content management so simple and easy that there is no need to use any other CMS, as far as I am concerned at least. But now, they have really topped themselves with their latest release.

With WordPress 2.7 they changed the look and feel for the admin section, which is really where the heart and soul of the CMS resides. They have implemented changes that makes things easier to look at, easier to get to, and just plain user friendly all the way around. And they started out with a very user friendly model!
