I keep referring people back to this book.
I may have only used a couple of the ideas listed in the book directly, but it is a very comforting item to have on the shelf. Whenever I lack inspiration, I can usually find something in here to get me writing - or at least tidying out my handbag in search of something to write about.
In a world where everyone seems to be blogging, it is a never ending battle to try to stay fresh and new. The ideas in this book will elevate you above the casual 'dear diary' blogger.

Don't waste your money. If you have to refer to this drivel you should not be blogging. I would give it a minus star rating if I could

Even old dogs can learn some new tricks here...
21 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
OK... I'm a sucker for an unusual title, and this one grabbed my attention right off... No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog by Margaret Mason. While it may not be a techie's idea of blog inspiration, it was a fun read that *did* spur some ideas for me...
Contents: Fifteen Minutes to Fame; Thirty Minutes Away from the TV; An Hour at the Screen; Take Your Time; Think Like a Writer; Index; About the Author
Mason is thrilled at the opportunities that blogs have given the average person for self-expression, but laments that too many blogs are obsessive navel-gazing exercises that hold little to no interest over time. She wrote No One Cares as a way to help you come up with creative and new ideas for blog material that can lead to unusual material and interesting insights to the life and world of the writer. Each idea takes just a single page (a few "long" ones take two pages) and throws out a suggestion that you can use to spur the creative juices. For instance, if you kept a diary growing up, you might want to use some of those pages as a glimpse into your past. Your youthful angst *can* be laughed at now... Perhaps you have some "inside knowledge" of the place/city you live... Share it with your readers. Or one that I could take advice from... "Get Defensive". Take a stand on something you like that goes against conventional wisdom, and proudly show your colors. While not every idea will resonate with all bloggers, there should be something in here to push you in a direction you hadn't considered.
For those who are blogging technical information with no personal color, bypass this book. You probably won't "get it". Better yet, try coming out of your shell and show your readers a bit of yourself. While some people can't do that for legal or professional reasons, it's far too often used as a dodge to avoid your readers. For those who *do* mix personal and technical life on their blog, this is a fun read that could help you connect (or re-connect) with your audience...
And now if I do something totally new on my blog, you'll know where I stole the ideas from... :)

Blogging has arrived it seems
27 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, blogging has arrived. I mean really.
This book is a good example of that, one of those 101 and "in 24 hours" books.
The subject is fun, the content is about 100 blog posts, the price for this is ridiculous.
The author complains that people are writing about their lunch, but funny thing is that her 31st idea for blogging is - yes, you guessed, lunch.
The book is basically about how to bare youself more to the public, how to put more of your private life on the net - hey, have you got an embarrassing memory that makes you cry and curl up? Post it!
Have you got embarrassing photos? Post it!
No one cares what you had for lunch, but hey, why don't you tell us what's in your purse?
Blogging has arrived. And this book is one of those "lets make some money without any effort" books.
But, if you don't mind the price - 20 USD? for this? -, you can have a good bedtime reading. And there are some good thoughts in this. Just not too many.

What you had for lunch might be more interesting
22 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
These ideas are about as creative and original as writing about what you had for lunch.
The book is skinny, the writing ideas are brief, and the content of the ideas is really thin. I've seen more interesting writing prompts in grade school writing classes.
Really wish I would have read all the reviews before buying this book.
Using these ideas really won't make your blog one to read.
