The advice given here in this post is quite timely for me. Thanks!! Now that the new semester has started I am going to be quite limited on my time in front of the computer…especially on the weekends. I really like the link idea on the weekends. Thanks for all the great suggestions!!!

I’ve never pre-written blogs before but I’m considering it… seems like a good way to harness my creativity when I’m “in the flow” :)

I post whenever I have time or an idea, even if that means weekends.

Interesting results. I’m still new to blogging but I also sometimes pre-write my posts, but not on weekends – I think it’s important to take a few days off for other activities.

But that’s just my 2 cents

I don’t touch my blogs at all in the weekends.
Why not spend some good time with the family too.

In the other post, I said I had no strategy at weekends, and just posted as and when I needed, to build up content.

I’ve changed this weekend, after I didn’t post for a full week last week! Before then, I sometimes made 3/4 posts in a day.

Today, I’ve written quite a few posts, but I’ve not posted them all – they’re currently sat in Drafts and I’ll release them over the next week so it doesn’t look like I’ve gone quiet!

Hopefully this will help out when I lack inspiration during the week!

I have noticed that Sundays are one my highest ranking in terms of unique visits to my site. So I make it a point to post specific, important content on Sundays. I am ususally catching up on other blogs on the weekend that I missed during the week and brainstorming for new blog posts and ideas. Recently, I have been writing a lot of posts and schedule them to be posted as I am traveling quite a bit and often do not have time to post. But I do have time to brainstorm and continue to get further ahead. I like this system as it allows me to focus on other tasks while my blog is ready to go each and every day that I have scheduled.

Interesting post…ideally I am spending some quality time with my daughter. However, I write posts whenever I get a chance, including weekends.

One more confirmation there is no need to publish post on weekend. It is better to analyse blog or having a rest.

Quite an interesting result but mostly writing for the week stays on top due to the fact that its peaceful on weekends.

Since the traffic is sometimes low on the weekend, it makes sense to use the time to get ahead.

I think I fit in with the first group. If I do anything for my blog over the weekend, it involves more planning for the week ahead than anything.

I write lighter posts on the weekends. But I do need to manage my time more wisely. It would be advantageous to prewrite posts, and then post them on the weekend. I do notice those who are probloggers do it this way.

One of the reasons I have written lighter posts on the weekends, however, is I notice a lot of my readers don’t come by as much on the weekends as they do on weekdays. They state the reason as wanting to spend time with their families.

I, on the other hand, am a multi-tasker. I participate in social media — including reading blogs — on the weekends, as well as spend time with my family and friends.

But since many of my readers don’t comment on my blogs on the weekend as much as the weekday, I don’t want to schedule heavy posts on the weekends, lest they are never read. I’m wondering if anybody else has encountered this?

Thanks for posting the results!

Well, I’ve just started a new blog (very new!) and I’m spending every spare minute I can writing content for it. I think quite a strict discipline is needed though.

I write the titles of my next 20 posts in advance so I can see for continuity reasons – of course it might change depending on comments/feedback but at least it is a plan.

yup…always doing prewritten before post something…it’s better to check n recheck the post before else read it…

I tend to spend my weekend working on the blog layouts.

How come you did not make that chart you usually make? I had to read through the entire lot and figure out the numbers :(
