Bloggers (w/ ETA)

Tapatio

I'm new to blogging and in some ways I'm still trying to figure out a lot of things. I created my blog almost a month ago and I only have one entry . My original intent was to blog about my losses and my TTC journey. Now I'm thinking I want to blog about life in general (our quest for a new home, my interests, hobbies....).

How often do you post? Do you set up a deadline in which to do an entry on a specific topic? Or do you post when the mood strikes you?

ETA: I hope none of you mind if I add your blog. I love reading other people's stories

I'm trying to post every day. I had gotten down to where I didn't post for 5 days and I didn't like that.

My blog was intended for my jewelry, but now it's about everything. I talk about myself, my family, my losses and my jewelry in it.

I say just do what's best for you. If you set a goal it might motivate you to come up with new and creative ideas.

I try to post at least once a week, though usually 3-4 times per week.  I mostly post when I'm in the mood, but sometimes I will mention something and be like ''the whole story will have to be explained in another post, which I will be sure to have done by Aug. 21, 2016'' (just an example)

I have a blog that was just supposed to be about my craft projects, but now it's become about everything.  I just post whenever the mood strikes me.  I'm not a really good writer, so I have to really be inspired to do it.

I try to post a few times a week. I used to blog about my life for about 5 years, but then stopped after I got married. I started back up thinking I would blog about my loss and the ttcal journey.

It's kind of a mix now, and mostly when I need to vent about something.

I'm loving your blog! If you don't mind, I'd like to be a follower. That way I can stalk you properly . Plus, it'll remind me to check out your Etsy stuff...I might want to order something

Lol. I welcome any and all! I figured people would get sick of me just talking about my jewelry so I am trying to keep it all balanced.

I have a loss/life blog and a work blog-both linked in my siggy. At first I was so gung ho with both I would post every day or EOD, but now it's dwindled down to once a week for the professional blog (if that) and even less on the other one. I just posted yesterday and I hadn't since before Christmas.

I would set up a goal of something easy, like one post a week at least, then you can add more as you feel like it.

My blog started out as a life/what's going on blog, but lately has turned towards our loss and I plan to continue blogging about TTCAL. I usually just write when the mood hits which ends up being about once a week:)

Laurakat81

I only post when the mood strikes although typically that is about 4 times per week, sometimes more and sometimes less. I've gone weeks without posting before but that isn't typical.

jerryliljess

I had a blog on livejournal but closed it down and I may open up another one there for my TTCAL blog. I wrote what was really bugging me and some articles that I thought were interesting.

I like this idea because I think it's manageable. It gives me enough time to pick a topic, brainstorm for it and blog it.

I write when the mood sets.. some weeks I'll write 3 or 4 times.. others just 1.. I do try to write atleast once a week

HappyLaLa0914

I started my blog when I got pregnant the first time, but now it's become a place for me to talk (or vent) about life in general.  I try to post at least once a week, but would love to find the time to do more.

I'm trying to post daily ~~ blogging is my 'therapy'

hopefulelise

I blog whenever I feel like it. Sometimes it's quite a bit, other weeks it's not very much.

There are blog challenges out there you can do to help you get started posted. I was just doing a 30 day blog challenge, but failed at it  

tdmd09

I do it whenever the mood strikes. Sometimes I get on a roll and have a lot of things to write about. Usually if that happens I'll make several drafts and save them. Then if it's been a bit since I posted, I'll pull up one of the drafts and post it so it looks like I'm more consistent. Heheh.

I love your jewelry!  I just added you to my etsy faves.

I try to post a few times a week. I used to go weeks without posting but I've been better at blogging lately. I blog about TTC, being a military spouses, hobbies and just random things sometimes. I don't have too many people that can relate to my situation so I find blogging to be a good way to express how I feel instead of just keeping it bottled up inside.

I think you should blog for you, don't force it.

I blog whenever the mood strikes, usually once a week after I've been ruminating on a particular thought for a few days. But lately I've been posting everyday since I'm doing the 30 day blog challenge.

Like PP said, blogging is like therapy to me, so I do it more for me than for other people. But if someone gets something out of it-great!

shanna82

Mine started out as a TTCAL blog, but I do somewhat blog about our life in general also.  When it was all about TTCAL, I made entries more when I felt like it or when I ovulated or when I tested, but no real time limit.  I probably updated twice a month or so.  

rebaann

I try to post once a week.  My blog was designed for my family and friends back home, so it's just general life stuff.  The only thing I never post about is TTC.  The link is in my signature.

Same here. I want to blog for me, not to try and impress anyone else. I kept thinking it would be a great way to express myself (and vent). I guess I just have to find a pace that works for me.

I'm going to look into this...I think lissasue also did one. Very interesting! Thanks

I actually have three blogs, and I post to them all differently.  One is a "family" blog about me and DH's life (and will eventually - hopefully - feature posts about our kids as well).  I try to update that one at least once per week.  Usually my topics are what we did over the weekend, funny things that happen, etc.  Just daily life stuff that really no one other than our closest friends and family would even care about.  lol

Then I have my loss/TTCAL blog.  I post to it every few days.  My topics there include everything TTCAL-related.  (Feel free to check it out!    Link in siggy.)

Then, my newest blog is my photography blog.  I'm doing the 365 Project so thats pretty much all I post about right now, but maybe someday it will become something more.  

Hopefully this helps!

I could have two blogs. One about TTCAL and another more general one family. God knows I don't want them knowing my issues!

I've got to look through everyone's blogs when I have more time this weekend. Thanks!
