Ok - Quick Poll on Blogging

Do you blog the same time every day? every week? Are you a blogger that perfroms a ritual as in doing it the same way everytime? Where do you get your blog ideas from? Do you blog on weekends? Would love to hear about it.

I find myself blogging early morning, based on the day. I seldom blog on weekends although I do get responses to my blogs and comments on my cell phone so I sometimes respond. I try to blog 1-2 times a week. My blog ideas come from real life happenings or things I witness. I send myself an email with my blog ideas and could have 2 or 3 in an email.

How about you?

I read blogs generally first thing in the morning. Otherwise by time my day gets going there is no guarantee I will get around to it. If I have ideas I try to blog then too. Usually come from whats going on around me.

No set patterns as just when inspiration or good news that I can share hits me. Also the big one is when I need council.

Heck no, I blog when I get an inspiration and have some extra time. I know I really need to be more faithful but I really try to blog with the intended result of securing more clients.

Thanks all - Diane, My girlfriend asked me why I spend time on blogging instead of going out there and meeting people. Telling her I am shy didn't seem to work.

I read blogs and comment first thing in the morning. I usually don't feel like writing blogs until about dinner time.

Jim, I normally comment early in the morning and maybe one blog before my day gets started. I don't always post a blog but I could be working on one.

The interesting this is that I am sure there are people that never create a blog..just read, learn and comment and this is ok. We can't all have a following of 2!

Jim, I comment on blogs the first thing in the morning after checking my email. I usually blog when the inspiration hits me.

Good Question!

It makes sense but almost everyone that has responded so far has a good amount of AR points. Diehards you say..nope, just early risers!

It all depends on my schedule for the day. I would love to write first thing in the morning, but it doesn't happen very often.

I blog whenever I can fit it in, usually very early AM. I used to try to time things to post based on the number of people online. I always have stuff saved up in drafts.

I try to post on Sunday morning but that has to do with BlogTop lists (or maybe it is Topblog lists...) one of the little chicklets on my sidebar.

I need to stop posting to AR and get back to my other blogs...

Maureen, This blog was just a ploy to get your secrets!

May 16, 2008 01:04 AM

I spill my secrets on AR weekly... or weakly. Usually on Sunday AM early... a word about polling... Polldaddy.com

Are you on the email that Scott Hoyt sent out? I am avoiding my RL mailbox.

May 16, 2008 01:16 AM

here's another freebie. Use Twitter to "pimp" your post. Or other's posts. I twittered this post today.

Okay you guys...now I am seeing just how badly I blog...and how much I need to learn.

How in the world does Twitter help the blog?! Please explain....I'm in the dark. Thought I was cool and finding out I'm so NOT....lol

So much to learn and so little time these days!!!!
