I am personally taking a little break as we are in the middle of a move...with no permanent housing until july 3rd. I have enjoyed my children more and am enjoying the break. I think I need to take a few hours one morning and get a good plan for my "return" with a good series, etc. I don't think you lose subscribers, but maybe people who actually click to your page and refresh might lose interest if there is no new posts.

So, yes... i think it is fine to take a little break, or to post less during whatever season... Christmas, summer, etc. Whatever season for you demands more of you...you need to do that.

I hope my break doesn't "hurt" my readership, but I needed the break from worrying about numbers and clicks, and networking, It will be nice to get back to good content that I am excited about writing about.

I have no plans on slowing down. I'm less busy in the summer as I'm a daycare minder and I have off in the summer. Readership slowing down? Well then, I guess I just have to make sure my readership increases this summer despite the general trend. :-D

This will be my 3rd summer blogging. I have found that my readership goes really drops in the summer. I don't know if I should blog more to try and build it up or just take time off since people are away and not visiting my blog anyway.

I'll be doing more. I work at an elementary so I'm on summer break. Don't envy me too much - I"ll SO broke until the fall. Then I'll only be so broke. Could you tell the difference? Don't worry. Neither can my debit card.

Well, I am a student, and I'll be starting my senior year of college in August/September. I just went back last August/September and had to slow down on my blogging because I hadn't been in school in 11 years, was going through a high risk pregnancy and had a six year old (at the time) at home. The spring semester was even worse. I am blogging more now and trying to do more with it becuase even with my older daughter at home, I have way more time than I did. I'm hoping to carve out time during my senior year to blog more. I made time to read, just didn't get to write a lot.
