These ideas are about as creative and original as writing about what you had for lunch.

The book is skinny, the writing ideas are brief, and the content of the ideas is really thin. I've seen more interesting writing prompts in grade school writing classes.

Really wish I would have read all the reviews before buying this book.

Using these ideas really won't make your blog one to read.

Not a worthwhile purchase if you are already a writer - 2009-07-13

I already have a blog, and I was hoping to find tips and information on how to make it even better. However, this book is geared toward someone who has not yet started a blog. The book is a list of ideas of what your blog could be about. (My fault...I should have taken the title of the book more seriously!)

So, if you think you might like to start a blog, and if you have no incentive or motivation to research blogs (uh...... as in type "blog" into google's search engine[...])..... then spend the money on this book.

However, I think if you are motivated enough to start a blog, you probably already know what you would like to write about and you probably have already seen blogs you like.

So to me, this book was really a waste of money. To be honest, it's hard to believe someone actually published it! I guess there must be a need. But to me, it just doesn't make sense.

Just the fact that someone bothered to write this book and you're considering buying it is proof enough that no one really cares about your blog.

I picked up this book for my daughter to help her with content for her blog. We were both unimpressed with the ideas and surprised at the lack of depth for so many of those ideas. Maybe we'll try the Blogging with Moxie book and have better results.

Useful, if you have personal blog, not so - if topical or business - 2009-05-08

Rating this book is very daunting task. This is a case, when choice must be n/a instead of giving rate at all. Why? Because book can be buried treasure coffin for one blogger and worthless text for other.
Depends what you need.
To simply put it - if you have personal blog, where you mumble about politics, sisters cat and your fathers late girlfriend (and how you hate them both) - you will find here topics to write for next 25 years.
But you write a topical blog, like I do, or even more - if you blog for business - there will be maybe 10 or so topics you can use.
And that's great I think - I personally would never give 1 star to this book just because I could not use - it does not means that everyone also also can't. Think about your blog type before you grab this book. Anyway, even if you can not use most of topics after all it's entertaining read.
