Here's a simple brainstorming tip that can help you to have a more authoritative and complete blog...
Bring up a web browser and point it to your blog. Make a list of your last 5-10 entries, either the titles or the "gist" of the entry. For each entry in your list, ask yourself how you could expand on that point? Is there something you brushed on in the post that isn't explained as well as you would have liked? Does it make you think of some other topic area you haven't covered on your blog? Have commenters to the article asked intriguing questions you should answer with a follow-up post?
This "extension" method of brainstorming can help you recognize content areas that might be lacking from your blog, and opportunities to cover earlier points in greater detail.
