I a few days late on this prompt, because I decided to post some original content instead. However, I really wanted to do this prompt, because it is so applicable to me and the way I blog.
Before starting this challenge I posted pretty much everyday, so it hasn’t been a huge transition. I know there’s a lot of debate in the blogging community about post frequency. Some say you should post often, some say not so often, while others say just be consistent. I agree with the latter. Whether you post daily like I do, or once a week, consistency is key when it comes to what your readers expect.
I post daily, because it keeps me on track and disciplined with posting. However, if I don’t have anything good to post, then I don’t. It doesn’t bother me supremely to miss a day, but I know myself. It’ll start off with missing one day, then two, then three, and next thing I know I’ve missed an entire week.
Blogging is fun for me, as well an outlet. So, I honestly don’t see it as work, even with a newborn. I don’t have as much time to blog as I did when I was pregnant, because I’m constantly engaging or catering to my son, but I still make time to do it. Its those few minutes I can steal away for myself, to do something for me. As a mother they come few and far between, but I appreciate them. I love blogging and I’m so excited to see my blog grow and where it takes me.
What about you? – How often do you blog? Do you see blogging as an outlet or more as a task?
xxoo,
Blogging is an outlet for me. I try to publish a new post at least 3 to 5 times out of the week. My goal is to step that up to at least 6 days a week. If I don’t feel truly inspired to write then I don’t. Since blogging is a hobby for me I don’t ever want to do it out of obligation.

I couldn’t agree more! The times I do feel obligated are actually the times when I don’t post. I feel like that energy can come across in my posts.
I think it’s great that you want to increase the frequency of your posts. I enjoy your posts and look forward to reading more!
