When do you post your blog for the day?

Started by Brae, author of I am NOT a VOLCANO and other such stories. 2/9/2010 12:06:20 AM

I'm asking because I just posted my blog for Tuesday- and Tuesday is still an hour away, more if you don't 'count' it as Tuesday until tomorrow morning.

The thing is, I wake up in the morning and get my kids ready for school, and help them finish homework and do breakfast, housework, etc. I might have a sec to jump on and reply to a comment or two, but until my kids are in school and my youngest is napping, I don't have much time to actually sit down and write a blog. Instead, I blog at night before bed, and post it just before i go to sleep. It's early, but it's what works for me without taking away from my family.

When do you blog? What works for you?

I usually set up mine the day before & just schedule the time for it to be posted...usually before I wake up the next day.

I also blog a lot when the kids are at school.

I've done posts the night before. I've done Not Me Monday posts on Sunday evenings before. My blog doesn't let me schedule it so I just have to post it. I figure that it's the next day somewhere in the world, right? Ha!

I usually blog late morning or early afternoon.

Whenever I get five minutes! I've seen the scheduling tool, I haven't had a rason to use it yet, but possibly will do soon.

Remember, if you are posting in the Northern Hemisphere late at night, it's already the next day in the Southern Hemisphere. So your readers 'down under' won't think it's weird at all :)

Actually, it is not always like that La Tempête. It isn't specifically about what Hemisphere you are in. It is more about the time zone. So yes if my family back in the States posted late at night, it would be the next day for me. But we are still in the same hemisphere.

Hey, thanks everyone for answering!! I didn't know there was a pre-set way to make it post the next day. I might have to figure that out. Anyway, I just wanted to know how things work for everyone else!

I usually write my posts the night before and then publish them right before I leave for work in the morning. But everyone is different. Some people like to post around lunch time, and some people like to post in the evenings.

I almost always write up my post the night before and preset it to actually post the next morning. With a one year old running around, its way too difficult to get anything written during the day :)

Do any of you blog with Live Writer? It's a free download (Microsoft program) and it makes blogging soooo much easier, especially if you use pictures! I got so frustrated trying to move pictures in blogger that I putzed around on google til I found it :)

I usually put something together after work, and then post it around 7ish my time. I am way behind in time for most people in the lower 48, and everyone on the east coast, so by the time I post most everyone else is in bed!

During nap time for the most part, otherwise during my normal "one hour" break from the kiddos when I go into our bedroom and relax after dinner, while Hubs watches the kiddos.
