Sometimes, it’s difficult for us Blogoholics to keep up with all the posts we need to write and comments we need to make.
An easy way around this is simply to lift what others write and put it on your own blog. I don’t mean just link to it, either. I mean sharpen the scissors and get out the bottle of glue, and cut and paste the whole bit of business.
If you want, you can add a brief comment, preferably at the end. Maybe use the word “found,” like “I found this on Guy Kawasaki’s blog,” implying that it was like a stray kitten in the alley that you picked up, took home, and cuddled. Or, “Tara Hunt said something like this, too.” Or “Previously posted by Richard Scoble.”
Who has time to write original content, anyway, when there’s so many posts to make?
You are not a real blogging addict if you only cut and paste.
No sir.
Real blogging addicts sit down and write stuff, and damn how long it takes or how much sleep you miss. Damn the fact that it is 2 freaking 12 in the AM. I have a interview to post on my blog for goodness sake!

This gives me an idea! Why don't we simply to lift what others write and put it on your own blog. I don’t mean just link to it, either. I mean sharpen the scissors and get out the bottle of glue, and cut and paste the whole bit of business.
I am so brilliant.
