If you ever work out what the solution make sure you don't keep it to yourself! Glad to hear I’m not the only one who spends forever struggling to write blog posts.

Except for the split infinitive; I would have re-written that. [Oh dear—I have it bad.] You have given words to my own frustrations—I couldn’t agree more.

I try not to read old posts too often because they have e tendancy to make my skin crawl, but that's what was in my head at the time (more or less) so I accept them. I think I might have the opposite problem to you on titles. I have a list of drafts with a titles but nothing else! Jo was berating me for my recent choice of topics and told me that the 'Quantum kettle' post sounded my more interesting... unfortunately I have absolutely no clue what that was going to be about!

The fact is though, that although journalists like to cast blogging as a facet of journalism, I find it's a lot more useful as a facet of 'being a bit more social'. Rather than keeping the stuff you want to say cooped up in your head, or waiting for it to crop up in conversation with friends, you can pour it out into a blog post and see what happens. I have a lot more real-world discussions about blog posts that I've written than I have comment-conversations. And, well, I enjoy your blog, and the more you write it the better imho.
