Blog Questions

I don't think I have asked questions about blogging on my blog.  It is time to:

1: Why do you blog?  - I see it as a creative outlet, I get to post pictures and write. Blogging, blogging everyday, forces me to write on a regular basis.

2: About how many blogs do you read on an average day?  About 12, about 8 of them are checked everyday, the other 4 vary from a long list. On Sundays, about 20.

3:  Do you create posts ahead of time or post them immediately when they are created?  I write ahead of time.  Some postings take time to develop and spend a lot of time in draft form.  I normally have a few days ahead ready to post and scheduled to post automatically.

4: How long do you carry an inactive blog on your bookmarks before you drop it?  At least six-months.  Some are friends and have been carried for a year or two - with just a post or two.

5: Have you ever regretted a blog posting?  Yes, I have edited a few and taken down one or two over the years.

  3. 1) To journal my growth, where I am and what I am thinking. Through writing & sharing I reinforce my practice thus strengthening my focus. I enjoy using humor and pop culture while exploring.
    2) 6 Daily and check in on another 30 anywhere from once a week to once every few weeks.
    3) I generally post as soon as I write. When an idea comes I get it out. Only once in a while do I write ahead.
    4) Being a somewhat newer blogger I'm still dealing with how to handle this one but fell 6 months is a good rule.
    5) Haven't yet really regretted one, although I will admit I've edited a couple after posting....you could say I felt an adjustment would prevent regret.

  4. 1: Why do you blog? - I concur it is a creative outlet. It allows me to express myself via words.

    2: About how many blogs do you read on an average day? I have dozens I try to check in on a regular basis. These days if I am lucky, 1-2/week.

    3: Do you create posts ahead of time or post them immediately when they are created? I do both.

    4: How long do you carry an inactive blog on your bookmarks before you drop it? I too make it six months, leaving a note to tell me please if they return to blogging.

    5: Have you ever regretted a blog posting? I done a fews that got me into quite a lot of hot water; one of them caused so much upset Someone has never forgiven me for it. It reminded me to always remember everyone is reading this.
