Maybe don't 'blog like Shakespeare'. At least, not as described here. Here's what we're told: "Content starts writing itself once a rubric of format is produced, and Shakespeare nailed his format down well with the sonnet."  I can think of any number of education bloggers who phone one in once a day or whatever, with each post following more or less the same format. I'm pretty sure Shakespeare put more effort into his sonnets. Content that 'writes itself' is probably not worth writing. There needs to be some risk, some effort and some insight in each piece of writing.
