Do you feel pressure to post every day?

I'm wondering if you feel the pressure to keep up with the "mom blogger rat race". Do you feel like you're failing your readers if you don't post five times a week at least?

I have! I wrote about it here: Realistic Blogging Commitments for Mom Bloggers.

I've never really thought about posting compared to what others post. But according to my stats, I have far less visitors on weekends so I generally post monday through friday because of that.

Don't we all?? I write 3 -4 drafts when I get a chance to, and then post them daily.

I did in the beginning. Then I stressed out a little too much about what to write that I sort of let it sit for awhile and didn't post anything. Now I'm more relaxed about it. There are some days I could post more than once a day and others where I might go two or three days without even looking at it.

I do, but I sort of locked myself into that by choosing the name "Found Daily". :)

I don't have that many readers, so I post whenever I have something to blog about.

No I dont understand the pressure to post every day. I post as often as possible and thats not always every day, and thats ok.

I used to, but I don't flip out if I miss a day here and there anymore. It happens sometimes, and my family has to come first.

I have a frugal blog posting deals, coupons, freebies and more. We post 10 times a day except Sunday where we post 3-4 times.

No way. I don't believe in stressing over blogging! think it should be fun and organic, a release as well as an exercise in good writing...I try to write two or tree times a week, and make those posts as good as they can be....if I'm happy, my readers are too: they tell me they look forward to my posts!

Nope. I go for quality not quantity. If I do not have something I think is special, interesting or unique to post I don't post it. I usually post about 2 times a week, (or every 3-4 days) which is good for me. I do not have a lot of followers anyway...
