1) Make Use Of Tabs- Make Use of tabs when you are blogging.   Whether you are using IE 7, firefox or another browser, the tabs allow you to quickly open up several different wordpress funtions, saving you time from clicking back and forth.   I like to open up the write window in one tab, the manage window in the next tab, and any sites I am referencing or linking to the following tabs.

2) Digg As You Write - If you like to use social networking to push your own site, it is generally fastest to do that as you write each post.  This is especially true if you use a plugin such as WP-Notable.   This allows you to post a page and easily submit it to the social networking with the title already filled in with one mouse click.  The advantage to submitting your sites as you write them is that you know exactly what they are about.  You don’t have to take the time to reread to post to summarize it in your mind.

3) Write Your Post First, Then the Title - Instead of taking the time to try to come up with a good post title when you start writing, just jump right into the post.  After you are done with that post you will have a much better idea of what it is going to be about, allowing you to quickly pick a much more accurate title than you otherwise would have been able to

4) Pick Your Target Keywords and Keep Them Handy - One you have picked your target keywords you need to make sure that you use them in your posts.  Doing this will make your SEO much easier and save you time that you would otherwise spend trying to rank for those words.  In order to make sure that you use your target keywords in your posts I recommend printing out a list of the keywords, along with some synonyms and taping it to the wall beside your computer.   If you ever need to figure out a phrase, that list will give you some easy choices.   Do this and I guarantee you will use your target keywords more frequently in your posts, and it will help your SEO

5) Write multiple posts at once - One of the most time consuming parts of blogging can be to sit down and get started.  I know that I take quite a bit of time to fire up my computer, fire up wordpress, set my playlist, etc.   If you do all this and then only write one post, you are wasting time.   As soon as you get into the zone of writing, you have to keep going.  Write several or even many posts at one time.  You can always spread them out later if you would like
