You guys may have noticed that I haven’t posted here for quite a number of days. Don’t worry, I’ve got a whole ton of exciting reviews coming in the next few weeks so don’t worry. That said, I thought it might be topical to talk about some tips to help you get some inspiration for what to write on your tech blog.

Go out into the world


If you sit and stew all day worrying about what you’re going to write about, this is going to show in your posts. Getting out into the world a little will allow you to see life from the perspective of a not tetchy person and will inspire you to reapply things differently into your geek lifestyle. As geeks, we can sometimes focus on technology so much and not notice when “real life” may be passing us by.

Read other sites

This links well with my previous tip. Reading other content will give you news and thoughts that you can give your own opinions on.

Use personal experiences

Blogging is personal. If you’re going to talk about a product or service, make sure to use personal experience. This will give your content and degree of sincerity that you wouldn’t have otherwise been able to gain.

I hope these tips were helpful to you.

Comment Posting Guidance

For the benefit of every non-spambot visiting, following a recent site restructuring I have some rules with regard to etiquette for comment posters. As well as making a better experience for all, they help to distinguish real people for automatic evil machine spam. Due to this, any comment that fails to follow any one of them will be considered spam and removed as soon as possible.

With thanks, Tom

  • Coherent English must be used.
  • This form has multiple fields for a reason. Only enter a real name or nickname in the first box i.e. "Boats For Sale" wouldn't make it. Similarly, the "Website" input is a pre-determined place to post one link so there is no need to have them in the body area. This is a common technique used by spammers and marketers and, as such is not allowed.
  • Your comment must be directly related to the post to which it is a response. The idea of a post commenting system is to further the conversation that began in the given article. For instance "great post" is not a comment. My contact form can be used for suggestions or general communications.
  • Responses to other comments must be civilised.
  • No sexual reference or content is allowed.
  • Duplicate comments are a no-no.
