As a blog contributor, it is important to know what topics are important to focus on. And while the 20 suggested keywords are listed to the right, for general content ideas.

As far as blogging best practices, I am of the belief that it is import to write naturally and to write about what you know.

I would love to hear how what you think of the new keyword tool. Also, tell us about how you write...how do you add keywords to you posts, and what are some of your blogging tips?

In honor of Labor Day weekend and all of the "White" parties happening in the next few days, it only seems appropriate to reiterate the appropriate use and utilization of white space in a blog post. I know that 
As I sat in traffic on my way home from work last night, I began to think about how weird it is that this many people live in one place and all want to get home at the same time. For a small town girl like myself, the number of people driving out of downtown Indianapolis around 5 o'clock just baffles me. Where do they all come from?
