BLOG Q&A

Okay.... This is my question... and thoughts about Blogging.

What is the "norm" when it comes to posting new posts? Everyday, every two days, 3, 4, one week?

Some bloggers (you know who you are) post EVERY SINGLE DAY! Sometimes twice in a day! I can barely keep up with these bloggers... if you miss a day- you are behind and if you miss a couple days- well you are basically screwed! LOL

Other Bloggers post every couple days.... that seems about right. It gives their visitors time to well... visit and leave comments.

Me on the other hand, I think I leave a post posted too long before doing another one. Lazy is what it's called!

I never post more than once a day unless something really dramatic happens. And I post about 4 times a week.

Putting all the blogs I read into my Google Reader has made things a lot easier in terms of reading blogs. If people post more than one a day I won't miss one because they'll show up in my reader.

Okay...I'm a daily if not twice a day poster. I have a lot to get off my mind.

I too use Google reader so I know when you post something and don't waste time looking around.

You post whenever something comes to mind, if you have the time.

When I started it was every day because I saw and thought about SO much to share with everyone, and the rate of visits were really high 3 yrs ago - commenting was real time and instantaneous and I'd get 20 before the end of the day. Blogging has slowed down a bit since then.

Then I spent a couple of years blogging every other day or every 3 days. Now it's about once a week. You're right about leaving time to gather comments. that's how much it has slowed.

Like the others, I have google reader but never remember to use it. I am lazy and laboriously click on all the links on my sidebar!

i don't believe there are any set rules...which is a shame, because half the fun of rules comes from breaking them.

i post whenever i darn well feel like it...or i have two free seconds at work...or am drinking at home...or i don't want do the dishes...you get the idea.

I say "to each his own"...it's your blog, do whatever YOU want to. Each blog is a reflection of it's 'owner'...I talk a lot in "real life" so my posts tend to be long. It's just me. I try to post daily but sometimes there is just nothing to write about. Sometimes, on the other hand, there's a ton going on and that generates multiple posts.

You do whatever you want to...definately don't let blogging stress you out...post whenever you have time...we aren't going anywhere! Ha! :0)

I think the important thing is some sort of regularity... If you post once a week and your readers realize that then they will make a habit of coming back once a week... if you're a daily poster, and keep up with that, your readers will come back almost daily... I have proclaimed myself as a daily blogger - heck, its in the title of my blog! - but I fail miserably every week... I only get about 4 in a week. (If I have more than one idea in a day I save the second idea for another day, when I don't have an idea)

It is your blog - it is up to you when and how often you write something.
