   Hey writer you provided quite useful tips and elaborated them pretty much.
   But how can we all damn bloggers(including me) stay away from our blogs,where ever a blogger can go there is internet.
   And most probably its writer block that keeps us away from posting(from our blog too).
   In rare cases these things happen.By the way thumbs up to you.
