Blog Frequency
How often should a person update his/her blog? Given my current state of employment (or lack thereof) I’ve been reading lots of blogs, many of which are outside my circle of friends. Personally, I choose to blog when something’s happened to me or I have something on my mind. I don’t really feel obligated to share every little nitty gritty detail of what I had for breakfast and how many times I went to the bathroom during a particular day. However, from my readings, it seems that the most popular blog subject matter is bloggers apologizing for not updating their blogs. Why is this? Granted, I’m probably not going to visit someone’s website nearly as often if I know they only update it once or twice a month. That said, if I check a particular site regularly, I know how often they normally post. I’d rather read about what’s kept them so busy, instead of some dumb long apologetic statement. Usually, if I don’t update, I just don’t have much to share, or perhaps I’ve been very busy and I’ll probably catch up very soon - which is probably going to be the case this evening.
