<p>This is a presentation I made to help my Beast Bloggers&#8217; Support Group create a Content Plan for their blogs. I wanted them to take a broad view of their objectives and strengths as they develop their blogging identities. I had them list out their objectives, brainstorm a few general topics their blog would cover (for focus) and then list potential post titles. The presentation slideshow is here:</p>
<p><iframe src="http://docs.google.com/present/embed?id=dfkr9mgt_92v7vq8r6m&#038;interval=60&#038;size=m" frameborder="0" width="555" height="451"></iframe></p>
<p>We had each previously pledged to complete 10 blog posts by the New Year, so I guided them to brainstorm topics and titles fo these posts so they could create a roadmap. I showed them my own Content Plan as an example, explained why I did certain things, and let them develop their own.</p>
