ever noticed how most bloggers have a blogging routine? some blogs are updated once every few hours, some are updated once a month and some have updated once. i can understand how some people see blogging as something to do on occasion, like being a social blogger or something; but from a reader point of view it’s frustrating. i don’t know how often to check your blog! one of the benefits of blogging is that you can keep up with what’s going on, but if people don’t blog regularly, you won’t check back frequently and you’ll probably miss stuff that’s posted.
on the flipside, the blogs which are updated every couple of hours seem overboard (exceptions: group blogs that have large audiences), it’s like you have nothing to do except blog. i think a good balance is to blog once a day. that way everyone who reads your blog can check it on a schedule whether it’s before they start work or after dinner; it’ll be like checking email.
that’s what i’ve been doing for the last little while and i’ll try to continue in the future. somedays i have enough ideas and material to write several blogs, but i’ve found it’s better to space them out instead of posting them all at once and going thru a week of not blogging at all.
anyways, all this talk about blogging makes me want to do more blog stuff. so all you people who read my blog but don’t blog yourself, get yourself a blog!!
