Blogging Questions

I'm curious about how other bloggers write and just how they use the computer in general. Do you blog (or use the computer) at any certain time, just when the mood strikes you? Or do you have a specific time, like when your kids are in bed or napping?

How often do you blog and why? It seems weird sometimes because you can update too often and then your readers get overwhelmed with too much at once but if you don't blog enough, then you lose followers.

Do you blog more about personal things like your life and kids or about topics, like parenting and news? Why?

Anyway, just some things I was thinking about - feel free to leave your thoughts & ideas! Thanks! :)

I try to blog at least every other day. My goal is to have a post every day. I also keep a notebook with me at all times just in case an idea pops in my head. I write it down right away or it will be gone. My goal is to get on more of writing schedule. I think that will help out a bit. But my blog is pretty new so I am still learning. www.thismamaworksit.com

I tend to blog while my toddler is napping or after he goes to bed. I have 2 blogs - one devoted to teaching about saving money and one devoted to life as a Christian mom. I keep the money one mostly professional but do throw in some personal tidbits. We have baby #2 coming in just a few short months, so I guess I'll be blogging one-handed as I nurse, hopefully while my toddler naps!

The number of posts is hard. I've been streaky. I recently decided to write a bunch of posts ahead and schedule them to come out one per day so that if live happens and I get busy, at least SOMETHING gets posted. Some days are full of good deals and sales and such so I end up posting many times. That's a fine line to walk between overwhelming and underwhelming!

I try to blog at least once a week. I probably use the computer every day but sometimes I just check my emails. I blog about my crochet so if I haven't done anything interesting for a while then I don't blog. Sometimes I just blog about my thoughts. How does anyone have the time to blog daily or even more. I suppose with me I do like blogging and it is growing on me but I would still rather be crocheting or knitting so I have to force myself to use the computer
