When should you Blog? It varies for most, but I use the hours of 6-7am and or 10-12pm. Post in the mornings and comment at night. This way it doesn't interfere with my daily obligations and commitments. You will have to decide when and how much time you want to put into it. Here's my analogy. If you practiced piano for 1/2 hour and only once each month, that's 12 practices a year totaling 6 hours of overall rehearsal. Now if you practice for a 1/2 hour each day, within two weeks, you'll be better than the one who practiced all year!! I see you're catching on. :-) You'll find your way, just get started!
