It’s important to note that flogging is best carried out with a fresh trout. That way, no one gets hurt but you get your point across. =oP

Now, when it comes to the new kind of flogging, I think inspiring change and uplifting others (and yourself) makes the experience so much more rewarding. When I see blogs that merely rehash news bits and regurgitated concepts, I feel like there’s such a missed opportunity.. Then again, I suppose that is part of the fun. Everyone has a role and a place in the blogosphere.

A crucial point you've pinpointed is that many of us obsess way too much over statistics, and start reading stats and figures more then actually writing blog content & producing information of value. Excellent thoughts.

I agree that music is a great way to keep us in a good mood and inspire us when blogging. It is easy to lose yourself in the music of your favorite bands.

Thanks Tate! Glad you're enjoying the new design. I really like it as well. I just added a few “touchups” to it. As for the teaser images – they're just done through the Thesis theme. It makes it very easy to accomplish such a task.

First, I love the new design it's clean and elegant. I wonder how you got the images to show with your posts. I tried to do it a few weeks ago and gave up . Now I am thinking about upgrading to 6.1. I like listening to music before blogging too, I don't know why but it puts me in a really good mood. And after blogging, I like to pour a glass of wine to sip on while proofreading.

I like this definition of “flogging” much better than the other one! Thanks for bringing a little bit of joy to my day!

Why thank you Suzen. That's a kind thing to say. I love the road less traveled too. It's very inspiring. Any other favorite quotes?

No matter the time when I blog (I know it sounds weird) I always have a cup of tea on my desk. I love it!

I'd love to hear how YOU'VE made your blogging experiences fun and enjoyable. For myself personally – I try my best to already be happy before I start blogging. It puts me in a better place for writing & creativity. I do know that for others – anger fuels the flames of creativity, but for me – it doesn't work as well.

Thank you for reading – and for sharing your input!
