I am constantly coming up with cool titles for blog posts but never getting around to fleshing out the article. I’ve been consistently writing, and that’s a good thing. But for every article I do get out, 10 more sit in my draft folder.
Below is a list of 10 article ideas I never got around to finishing. I decided that if it sits in my draft folder for more than a month, I’m going to purge it. Rather than just delete it, I thought I’d offer the ideas up to my readers.
See anything interesting? Want to finish the article? Let me know and I’ll send you my ideas for the post and maybe we can help each other out. Or just start with the title and go to town. Either way, let me know you did it and I’ll link to you.

“Do something cool and blog about it.”
You wouldn’t want to live your whole life that way (there are things that need to get done whether they’re cool or not, and there are things that probably shouldn’t be blogged about, no matter how cool they are). But one certainly should do something cool and bloggable a lot more often than once a month. I’d think once a week should be a bare minimum.

“Reasons Regular People Don’t Use the Internet the Way Geeks Do”
The biggest difference between regular people and “geek” internet use is that regular paople don’t KNOW what RSS is and most importantly, don’t CARE!
Regular people don’t know the difference between a browser and an email client. Also, in addition to not knowing that they are two separate programs, they also think MSIE and Outlook must be superior because they came pre-installed on their computer.
Oops… looks like I’ve been spending WAY too much time on the phone walking “regular” people through the web.

I have only a handful of ideas for this one, but I’m very intrigued by it: “Reasons Regular People Don’t Use the Internet the Way Geeks Do.”
Really, I’m interested more in “Why Regular People Don’t Use the Internet the Way Bloggers Do” even more. I might have to explore that a bit. Maybe when I’m done with this damned introspetion series I started.
