I've made it a point to start blogging recently, and with a huge thanks to Octopress, I actually enjoy it now.<p>I wrote about my typical process of writing a post here: http://cnnr.me/b/2012/01/my-blogging-process/<p>But I'm interested in hearing how HNers typically blog. Do you have any kind of process you usually follow before getting a post up?
My first step is to stumble across a topic I think others may find interesting. Then I just start writing. The first pass generally comes out as a bunch of poorly organized random thoughts, but once that process is done I tend to have a much clearer idea of how I want to present the topic.<p>From there I can rearrange what I've already written, which is usually ~50% of the content, and fill in the rest. I will revise the post until I feel like it is coherent but I don't get too hung up on getting it perfect.<p>I started blogging back in the Fall so I'm just forming the blogging-habit but I'm finding this method works well for me. It removes the writers block problems I've experienced in the past and makes the process much more enjoyable.
