Do you have weekly blogging goals?... if so what are they...?

Still being a newbie to active rain I am trying to dedicate myself to this blog thing.  It has become more than a blog thing now because I really see the value in it.  Not only is it a great networking tool but I am getting some incredible advice and insight to the real estate side of things.  Active Rain has really been helpful in removing some of the obstacles between realtors and mortgage people which goes along way in helping both sides understand each other and ultimately makes us better professionals.

 This week I decided that I need to be more consistent in my blogging efforts, and until now I really didn't see any use for the point system but I think I will use the point system to help me keep track of my consistency.  I am trying to set goals realistically as to how many post per week, how many comments per week, and how many blogs should I read minimum?

Please comment with your thoughts on blogging goals so I can get an Idea of what the pro's do.

I am such a numbers guy that it is hard to sit down and type words, but I am finding that the more I sit down and do it the better my communication skills are getting.  Thank you all for being so kind and helping a goofball like myself become a better professional.

Hey John - Welcome to ActiveRain!  I'm new to blogging as well, and but have grown to enjoy very much.  Not only is it a great way to advertise, but even personal or educational tidbits get your name out there to the masses.  As far as a schedule, I don't have one.  When the moment strikes me, I open up my blog editor and go at it.  Once I feel that it's finely tuned, I add pictures and then edit the layout and then paste it here on Active Rain.  If you take a look at the evolution of my blogs you'll see how things have changed as far as format and color.  It was a gradual thing, and just like everything else in life, the more you do it, the better you'll be.
