31 Days to a Better Blog: Blog Calendar

Wow - this blog challenge is kicking my tail, in a good way.

I wouldn't tell you much about what I was planning yesterday.  Today I will shed a little more light on the subject.  The challenge for today was to start a blog calendar to have a week's worth of topics right at my fingertips.  Well, I don't have it all laid out, but I have a lot of things in the works.

I would love feedback on these topics and ideas.  Constructive criticism!  Be gentle!
  • First week of August is World Breastfeeding Week (and the start of National Breastfeeding Month).  I will feature a breastfeeding related post each day during the first week and then continue to focus on nursing through the month.  I have several great guest posters lined up.
  • Project in the works - "The Question of Marriage."  Work through questions, one at a time, with your spouse (or fiancee) to improve your marriage or prepare for marriage.  This segment will also feature short tidbits of advice from married couples.  Feel free to email me your 1-2 sentences of advice (think "the best piece of advice I ever received about marriage is...").
  • More regular posting of scripture - Featured as "Let Scripture Speak for Itself" or something like that (I'm open to suggestions!)
  • Occasional features of worship songwriters and their songs.
  • New sidebar item coming - prayer requests.  I would be humbled and honored to pray for you.
So, what do you think?

I think these look like really good topics! They sound interesting and engaging and focus within the niche of being a Godly mom and wife. I think you're doing great!

Good topics - I love the idea of scheduling around Awareness Months...lots of great information & links can be shared along with ideas such as Top 10's, Did you know's, etc. I was thinking about doing something similar in my niche. ~Liz

I second Elizabeth. I bet a lot of niches have "built-in" themes through special awareness dates.

I really like your idea of having a sidebar for prayer requests. What a positive way to connect with your readers!

Also, writing about World Breastfeeding Week and other similar occasions is a great way to organize your calendar. I'm going to try it out on my own blog. Thanks for the great ideas!
