Ideas, ideas, ideas
There are a lot of ideas but beginning is always the most difficult part. This is certainly true when blogging or writing blog posts. You have 
certain ideas in your head but it seems that you do not know when or how to begin writing the right words for that topic. So what do you do whenever you run out of ideas? Do you try very hard to to write even one word to start your blog post or do you take a moment to rest your head? If you find yourself doing any of these two, then you better take a moment to read this.
Here are some of the things I do in order to have new blogging ideas:
Read
Reading nourishes the mind with new ideas and new things to explore. In terms of new blogging posts, revisiting and reading blog posts would be a good chance to see your beginnings and also to check if your blog is on the right track. Reading previous blog posts would help because it brings you back to the time where you were able to write those articles and helps you focus on the ideas that you wish to expand. Aside from blogs, reading the latest news and updates would not only keep you updated but also in terms of picking out new ideas to explore more.
Interact
Talking to others would help because it is not just one head but a multitude of other people which would help in brainstorming new ideas for your blog posts. Interacting online means placing comments to other blogs, posting content on forums or even being a guest blogger for others that discusses a different topic from what you are currently used to. Pitching different ideas and opinions or "brainstorming" is a good way for ideas to generate and you could still have creative control as to the direction on where this idea would be going in your blog.
Rest
Perhaps the reason why you are not generating any ideas is because that you are over-tired. Taking a break and resting would be able to give your mind a break in order for new ideas to come in. New ideas usually come in when you are more relaxed and is not pressing too much about the matter.
Anyway, these are just some tips or guidelines which I use whenever I feel that there are no ideas for a new blog post. I personally view blogging and writing as the same so if this is effective in writing then the effect would be the same in blogging.
