This was probably my favorite task so far for the 31DBBB! We used 5 of our most recent posts & came up with ideas for new topics! I had never thought to use a method like this & I found it actually worked really well! You can use questions that were asked in the comments, you can take an opposing viewpoint, you can extend to other topics in the same category, you can do a link post on the topic, you can conduct an interview with an expert on the topic & the list goes on & on! I didn't choose my last 5 posts because I do the Mommy's Piggy Tales meme & I've posted several times on the 31DBBB challenge, but I used 5 recent posts. I also really liked the idea of using 5 general categories that your blog could cover & coming up with post ideas under those. Here is what I came up with:
-a dad's perspective on breastfeeding
-Lew's review of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
interview with Lewis about being a new dad
-links to my favorite dad blogs/resources
-recipes
-how to easily do organic
