When it times come to write a post, I pick one out of the file, read it a couple times, then close it and write a post of my own with the goal of making it far more useful, easier to understand and better written than the one that gave me the idea. Expand on the idea, and relevant links, etc. I never copy & paste anything, it is just for inspiration.

Even with that strategy, writers block can still kick in. In that case I find a walk around the block does wonders.
