How do you get your blog content?

    I currently run three blogs and I'm getting to the point that I'm struggling to do all the content by hand and by myself. It's a lot of research and work to get each post up and running.

    What does everyone else do? I hear about you having 10-20+ blogs but how do you keep content running?

    personalize your homepage thru google reader for you to save time searching for latest news.

    you can also use feedwordpress or other similar plugin. :D

    Haven't heard of feedwordpress. I'll have to look it up on the codec.

    I write a news related blog myself. I also have some blogs that have Wikipedia cut and paste content (clearly acknowledged as such).

    I write articles myself when I have the time and the rest is supplemented by RSS feeds using autoblogger. I spend a lot of time when searching for RSS feeds to find the most useful ones, and I usually tweak the titles and such for SEO.

    I have 2 in other language. Update every 1 or 2 days, the content is about the internet market and something I am thinking.

    Personally, I'd not like to start many blogs, I prefer to the unique and original content :)

    My blog is about Night Life Entertainment, and Music.
    I started out writing about what I already knew, and then I started contacting the industry and adding content pages and categories.

    Now I get submissions from record companies, artist management, nightclubs, and every now and then I will grab a google news story about the subject matter. In between, I write related articles based on my own experiences and preferences.
    It should be said that my niche' is not over saturated at all, and I have not seen a blog put it all together like this, so the response has been positive, and lately I have been having to schedule posts based on all of the submissions i receive.

    My blog is very new, but I started contacting people immediately.
    I also have made relationships with 2 or 3 websites ,and bloggers in the same niche, and we share information at times.

    Personally, I couldn't run 3 blogs like this, it takes a long time to update this one, and I still fall behind.
    I'd rather have one "Mega Blog" than 10 or more "mini blogs".
    Maybe you could combine the subject matter on 2 of them, to cut down on the need for information, and possibly "Heard" your readers to one site.

    Write about something you're capable of writing about. If you can't come up with things to write, perhaps you're blogging about the wrong topic. Many people get blogging burnout when they realize that they can't maintain a blog about the topic they've chosen.

    LMAO , talk about dredging up old threads, this one is over a hundred days old!

    Since it was brought back up, I say write your own or have someone write it for you. The best is original posts.
