A well thought out editorial calendar can help you keep focus on your blog’s mission and larger goals. Since I mentioned the necessity of an ed calendar, I’ve gotten a few puzzled tweets and emails asking me for an example.

I prefer to handwrite my blogging plan. It feels much more personal, but while preparing to share my personal editorial calendar with you guys, I realized my content planning needed an upgrade.

I put together this editorial calendar template that you can complete online or download as a PDF.

Plan up to four weeks of content at a time. Put it to good use!
