How do you all keep up with all the blogs?
Do you read one and make comments . . . or read many and then pick and choose the ones that you will return to leave a comment?
How do you fit it into your day?
I have been very picky about the number of blogs I follow - I don't want to follow to many and feel like I can't keep up with them. Just doesn't seem like there is enough time in the day.
It isn't appropriate to check the blogs that I follow while at work. So that leaves me with the evenings. I work full time and usually don't get home until 6:30. By the time I make and / or eat dinner and clean up, it can be 8:00. Add laundry and taking the dog for a walk and I just don't have the time I would like.
AND for those of you with young children, playing, helping with homework, giving baths and getting the little ones to bed . . . the whole evening is already gone by the time you have any time to yourself.
??????? HOW DO YOU DO IT??????
I started blogging only 2 weeks ago and I admit that it is taking up more time than I expected. I'm curious about what everyone is thinking and experiencing. Still, I am slowly starting to zone in on the blogs that interest me the most and focus on those...but, I'm still checking out new blogs at least once a week. I mostly comment if I have something to say (like now :))...or if I'm new and I want to let someone know what I like about their blog. Okay...I really must get to bed now!!
ReplyDeleteI do follow a lot of blogs. But recently I have been thinking I need to limit the blog roll to those blogs that inspire me, teach me, enlighten me. And I do want that relationship to be a two way street. One of my reasons for blogging to to connect with people who share my passion for running and a healtier lifestlye. It doesn't have to be at my level, it could be more or less. I follow Steph who is doing 50 marathons, she is way more driven that I am but I love her blog because she inspires me. I follow some runners who have yet to run a single marathon but I hope to encourge them to reach for whatever goals they set and maybe strech beyond that!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to read what others say.
My kids go to bed early... like 6 and 7 at night! Then I will check it while I am at work on my break. I have been thinking about cutting back on my blogroll too just to keep more of a relationship with people. I love the support and information the blogging community has given to me!
ReplyDeleteSo I think I will concentrate on the blogs that I currently follow and maybe add a couple more. I also know that I just won't have time to comment daily . . . but instead will try to to make a commitment to review blogs at least every other day.
ReplyDeleteANN - I am also relatively new to blogging - just started in November
SHELLY - I can't believe that someone is doing 50 marathons. I did one in 2000 - it was my new year resolution. Seemed appropriate to run my first marathon in 2000. I loved it - but just don't think I can make the commitment to train for another marathon. . . let alone 50 of them.
STACI - Love your blog design - it is very charming and it always makes me want a good cup of coffee. ;-)
