The role of coffee in blog writing

October 31, 2010 By Jim Raffel

image of the guinness world record largest cup of coffeeTake a look to your right over in the sidebar of this site. As you scroll down you’ll see a picture of me holding a cup of coffee. Below that you will find the Idea Box.

The title of this post came right from the idea box. So, you too can submit an idea or question over there and perhaps one day find your answer in the form of a blog post.

The role of coffee in this blog is simple. I’m by and large an early riser (sometime between 4 and 6am depending upon when I went to bed). The first thing I do is grab a cup of coffee and do some reading and writing before the day turns crazy (as they almost always do).

As a result I am almost always drinking coffee when I am writing.

The picture accompanying this post was taken recently at BlogWorld. That’s the Guinness World Record largest cup of coffee. Thanks to my anonymous Idea Box friend I found a good place to use it.

Remember you can either leave a comment that everyone can see or just shoot me a quick anonymous message over in the idea box. I’d love to hear from you either way.

    I will have to take advantage of that idea box Jim. As a dedicated reader of your blog there are topics I would love to hear your perspective on.

    As for that giant cup of coffee, I think my morning ritual should include one of those bad boys ๐Ÿ™‚

    Rock on Jim!

      Morning Paul!

      Thanks for the idea box idea. That’s going to turn into at least a few posts.

      What I liked is they turned that record setting into social good. They collected contributions for a worthy charitable cause. So, it was not just self promotion. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Rock on as well Jedi Master.

      -Jim

    Well, I have the coffee part down but I have yet to write a blog. ๐Ÿ™‚ I did present an awesome photo essay for our group here at the USTA (Senior) Nationals. I fondly call it ESPN-AARP.

      Hey Sis,

      Are these pictures you have been taking or did you collect those of others as well? Either way would be cool to see them. Any plans to post them on Facebook or some other photo sharing site?

      -Jimmy

    Very cool idea to build more engagement/interaction with your readers! And I am a diehard coffee drinker- morning, noon, or night it doesn’t matter. I think it is a necessary tool for blog writing too!

      Hi Christy,
      Nice to see you here – couldn’t agree more as I sip (OK, I gulp) a cup of coffee this morning.
      -Jim
