Do you Blog and Run? What are your Blogging Rules?

A bloggers rule to live by:

You feed me, I eat...You bore me...I delete!

Just curious when are "you" writing and reading blogs? Do you read and then write? Do you write and then read? Do you post a blog and shut down your computer and then rush back over to see if anyone has responded?

I personally write at night. I try to read throughout the day and I scan over the list and am very guilty of headline judging! If it grabs me - I am in...Bore me and I just don't have time...

The problem I have is I really like to interact and respond to each and everyone that post. I also then like to go read the blogs of the people that post on my blogs...Isn't this the ethical thing to do?

It is like Twitter: Follow me and I Follow You! You feed me, I eat...You bore me...I delete!

I share this because here I am at close to midnight on the East Coast! I have toothpicks holding my eyes open because I blogged until 3 AM last night...Sounds like an addiction...Yes...it is!

But...I will be blogging and shutting down. However, you are so important to me and I just want to know what you do, when you do it and how you do it...

Do you blog and run?

Have you tested the best hours to post...Should we write and save and then post in wee AM hours so our California friends can drink coffee to our craziness?

Just curious?

P.S. Goodnight! These toothpicks are going to give me wrinkles before I turn 40!

Elizabeth, I blog and run. I do my best blogging at night; usually just before bedtime. And I like surprises....so I enjoy blogging then shutting off the computer only to wake up and, hopefully, be greeted first thing in the morning with several comments. It helps get me out of bed!

Ooh! I like that..Ok...I promise I am...I am going to bed! SOON!

It just seems harder and harder to make the time to blog. I really enjoy it and feel that I have plenty ot share my day just gets away.

Hope I will figure it out

I tend to blog in the morning as I post rates - so I check views/clicks/commets throughout the day. I'm usually pretty busy working my loans throughout the day so I do comments at night, like right now. (I'm on west coast).

I like it when people acknowlege my comments, so I try to do the same - so I am not a fan of "blog and run." But if that is the way you need to run your business - then ya gotta do what ya gotta do. No problem.

I'm a night owl, so I read and blog at night...the order depends on when I get an inspiration for a blog post! I also first read the blogs of those who have posted comments on my blogs and comment on theirs accordingly...although there have been one or two that I just couldn't really find anything to comment on. :)
