The process I use to write a blog post:

1) Think of a topic.
The idea I originally had for this post was my top 10 reasons for why I enjoy blogging.

2) Start writing the post.
I had "Gives me something to do at work, gives me a chance to express myself creatively, etc".

3) Change my mind about what I want to post.
I decided I would write about how there aren't many chances to use my creativity at work.

4) Repeat step 3 if necessary.
Only now did I decide to write the post on the process of my posts.

5) Write the post, making formatting changes along the way.
At first, I had italics in this post.

6) Using Blogger's preview feature, see if there's anything I want to change about my post.
I made sure to mention that I usually spend a long time writing these posts.

7) Publish the post, and look at how the post appears on my page.
I noticed that I wanted to format each step in bold.

8) Make edits to the post if necessary.
I decided I needed more white space in my post.

Because of all these steps, it takes me 30 minutes on average to write a post, even though my entries usually aren't very long.
