My alternate title was: Why does no one blog on the weekends?
I know it seems weird to wax philosophic about blogs, blogging, or anything along that line, but I’ve had to spend some time thinking about this recently. (That and apparently I have a lot of free time.) I’ve been in the process of talking about the blog that I’ll help writing for my job, and I’ve had several conversations about the whole blogging process:
- How often? 3 time a week.
- What about? Broad variety of topics related to the department.
- How long? Between 200 – 300 words.
- What days will you post? …
Yep, the webmaster and I had a pretty in-depth conversation about what days to post on. We went back and forth, and decided upon Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Why those days? Plain and simple, because people don’t read blogs on the weekends.

Now, I completely understand that writing/reading blogs can be tough, and I try to keep up with the ones that are really important to me.

That’s right, people are reading and writing at (or after) work. On the weekends, we don’t need the distraction. Let’s face it, there’s plenty to do that in our down time. Trust me, I have a full TiVo and a stack of movies to prove it, and who knows, I might even try to get outside every once and a while.
However, that’s my theory, dear reader, but I would love to know your thoughts/theories. (That, and I’m over 300 words.) Leave a comment below.
So, I’ve never really talked a lot about my life on this blog, but today I’m going to break that rule. I work for
