Eh? A blog is that, a blog. Somewhere you log your thoughts, opinions, share tips and more. How can you keep it active without actually blogging? More importantly, why would you? When your blog gets popular enough to get recurring users (I’m starting to get some!) then people will visit your page every few days and see if it’s changed. If it has then great, new content to read an absorb, if not then your page is as stale as the last time they refreshed it.

People forget there are lots of services you can use to make your blog ‘move’. In my blog I have a twitter account embedded on the right and below that I have my flickr stream, both of which get updated quite often. That’s just two services, you can embed facebook apps, poll’s, news from elsewhere – anything. By tweeting a few times a day and adding new photo’s to my flickr, it makes my blog look a little less static – also even subtle things like rotating your ads more can help the user think that your page is dynamic and always up to date
