    I don't read other peoples blogs a lot, just so I don't rehash things that have already been written.

    For 1 blog, I get ideas from CNN, and other news stations.
    On My music blog, Artist Managers, Promoters, and Clubs send in their press.
    I also subscribe to Newsletters that give me ammo. Since I write Liberal, I subscribe to Conservative Newsletters so that I have things that I can make fun of.

    I can find a blog post just about everywhere,

    - It is important to read other relevant blogs.
    - Follow what people are talking about your topic on Twitter.
    - Take notice of what people are commenting about on your blog or other relevant blogs.

    I get inspiration from user's questions. If some topic is being questioned repeatedly, I write about it. Nice strategy, right? :) What do u think?

    I got the inspiration to make my blog from Michael Dunlop of Retire at 21. You may notice my site is very similar, but it is in a different niche which is why he is one of my largest supporters.

    I also find that the Google Blogs search is a very good tool for finding inspiration.
