It can be really difficult to write in the morning on some days--but I always feel better after I've updated my blog with a post (even if I have to go back and edit it after publication). I post daily as much as possible. I try to write and post in the morning, but it depends on my schedule (and my tea consumption).

So I guess if you can invent an "11 o'clock deadline" mentality where you have to get something out and its got to be pretty good then that could help drive content.

I see it anyhow, so I kind of go with what seems to be working at the time. I do follow this though, and give the subject a little attention. There is definitely something to be said for consistency, as one is not so easily forgotten by readers. Especially, if a writer has serious intentions for the future of their blogging. Nice to read about your schedule. I think that trends can change. I see it anyhow, so I kind of go with what seems to be working at the time.

The timing will probably be different for different people, of course depending on when their friends are on. By the way, I meant to enter 11:30 AM when I entered the time I post.

I use the time stamp to schedule posts to be published from 7-9 AM generally, and I make sure I have at *least* two ready at all times.

Of course sometime for editing and error checking. We post as the information becomes available to us. But I think running some tests to see when the most traffic hit our blog is a good idea as well.

I generally use Google Analytics for statistical info, but I haven't discovered a way to view hourly figures. Is there a feature that I've missed or it that type of data simply not available via GA? It'd be interesting to hear when other people in the U.S. are seeing their peak site traffic during the day... By the way, I get my hourly data from my web hosting provider’s Webalizer stats.

Being new at this, I been watching it very close. Since I have a political news blog I try to post late at night to hit around the nightly news. 11pm est. I also found out, Saturday, is the worst day to post. I have been surprised that Sunday has been a good post day. I think it is important what time of the day you post.

I have to time those if I want to make an impact with posts for the day. If I don't make a post by 1:00 pm on the east coast I have lost my best chance of influence readers with relevant news stories for the day. I prefer to have posts made by 7 or 8 in the morning east coast, even if I rarely drag my tired ass out of bed extra early to do it. My other blog is a blog about blogging and I have plenty of regular visitors from Singapore, India, and Eastern Europe, so anytime of day I post there will have it fresh in the morning or the last thing they see before they go to bed for someone. If you have the space for it, I recommend the feedjit tracking widget which will show you at a glance in real time where your blog readers are coming from. Just remember to tell it to ignore your browser.

This usually ensures my post is published ready for readers in the US (my biggest audience so far) to catch this as they check their feeds in the morning. I've really noticed a difference in comments/page views if I post later in the day. Now I'm very thankful Blogger have finally implemented scheduled posts (use Blogger in Draft for this at the present time). Before this I was waiting by the computer for the right time to post!
