Change in Posting Schedule

Well, I guess it's time to hang it up (not totally). While I enjoy writing topics for this blog, it looks like I will have to put it on the back burner. I've changed jobs and am spending an extra 2 - 2.5 hours per day in traffic; that's better than 10 hours per week. If I had access to mass transportation, those would be some very productive hours. Unfortunately, that's not the case and I need to concentrate on my tech blogs (and I've shut down a few of those also).

I will continue to post here when I have something interesting to say but I won't be able to post regularly.

If anyone would like to post a guest entry, send me an email with the entry topic. It will be good for a link to your site and let people see what kind of content you write.

How often should I post?

One of the golden rules of blogging (if you want to grow readership) is that you have to post frequently. That's doesn't mean multiple times per day but it does mean multiple times per week. It doesn't have to be long (I will talk about content and quality in a post later on) but it should be more than just, "I don't have time to post today".

If nothing else, do a google search on an interesting topic and post some links on that. For example, I can search on "blog frequency" and see what pops up.

Interestingly enough, I find a few good links such as, "Why blog post frequency does not matter anymore" and "Optimal blog posting frequency". I just both of these and they are very good.

Also, if you are posting for your own enjoyment, post as often, or as rarely, as you like.

That leads me to make the point that if you aren't having fun, it's just not worth it.

Take care,
