Where Do You Blog?

January 3rd 2008 21:55
A friend of mine, keen to explore new horizons, recently 'interogated' me about what I got out of blogging and the Orble network.

His intentions were, of course admirable - and, by all accounts his new on-line journey will be up and running in no time.

However one question (which was obviously important to him) and surprised me a little was "When and Where Do You Blog"?


Was it at work?

Was it at home?

Was it during my lunch break?

Did I frequent an internet cafe?

Did I write my posts in at particular time each day?

So many questions - and I guess so many possible answers.

So - in the interests of research - where do you blog?

Where do I blog

Was it at work?
Nope. Can't blog while listening to patients pour their hearts out. Not good for business (although some of my patients have reported that their previous therapist fell asleep during a session!)

Was it at home?
Always

Was it during my lunch break?
What lunch break?

Did I frequent an internet cafe?

Don't even know where the nearest one is!

Did I write my posts in at particular time each day?
Always in the evenings or overnight when I have insomnia

Great questions friend!

I clicked 'in bed' because I often write in the middle of the night, but really, I'm all over the place! I don't have a blogging schedule. My work is really unstructured so I just have to fit it in wherever I can!

I'm an "at work" guy. They get a little crazy when they see me playing on the 'Net so I write my ideas in longhand and then type them when I get home. It's kind of a pain in the butt but, at least, I have my ideas down.

Interesting topic!!!!!!!!

I couldn't vote - I work from home, usually with my laptop in bed while watching TV. Where's the all of the above button!?!

I will usually do it at work or at home at night in front of the tv. But it's usually during my lunchbreak at work (or when I was at a job that I really didn't like.....pretty much my whole 8 hrs at work was spent blogging.....ooops!)

I blog when I have free time, and anywhere with an online connection, cafe, friends house, someone's room, etc...

Hey MNG,

Was it at work?
Yes, I work from home

Was it at home?
Yes, I work from home

Was it during my lunch break?
Yes, even though I try to keep my lunch break to myself. Being at home I tried to structure my day so I do get a break otherwise I fall into the trap of never eating.

Did I frequent an internet cafe?
My kitchen

Did I write my posts in at particular time each day?
Usually at night after the kiddies are asleep. I used to try and do it during the day.

Love & stuff
Mrs M

Anywhere I have an internet connection really!

Actually I plan my contents off line. I might be on a train, or sitting on the beach tanning and ideas would sprint. I'd write a little down and then usually come home, or to an internet cafe to type it all out.

Oh ok - I do do a lot at work, but don't tell my boss.

I voted for "at home" but sometimes I'm also watching tv. I need a choice that says "2 or more of the above"! haha

Do you sleep at all?

Your energy levels are exhausting.

Stay well.

Hey Mich

Your life and blog posts continually give me a mental picture of some busy little 'nectar collector' - whose life is a flurry of colour and hecticity (now there's a new word for you!).

Cheers

Hey Lynn

Yep - never considered an "All Of The Above" option - but trust me - you'll get a special mention.

Guess ya gotta fill in the day somehow doing something you feel is personally constructive.

Just don't get caught my friend - you may have to look for another job you don't like

Free time these days is such a valuable commodity. And the blogosphere is so absorbing - that you quickly become infatuated with it - huh?

Thanks for sharing some of your free time with me.

Hard to blog if you don't have a where - but would be interested in your how if you'd care to expand.

The whole Mum/Work/Home gig has gotta be the toughest going around.

You do it well.

Hey AmyHuang

I'm reasonably structured in my approach - but then again that's because my life demands it.

Oh to come up with ideas while sitting on a Sydney beach - what bliss!

Looking forward to your next post Amy.

Hello Ash

Sorry - I'm a man - which means I can't multi-task.

The concept of watching TV and blogging at the same time is beyond the reaches of most of us fella's

Thanks for joining in - hope you can find the time to drop by again real soon.

In between lunchboxes, laundry, and cleaning up the kitten's latest urine-antic which usually involves something I have always sincerely hoped would avoid being mistaken for an ablution site, like my Mexican weave rug or the manuscript of my latest book.
I blog in-between. That's the beauty of the blog for me. It's a place where I can share a half-thought, a question that's troubling me, or a beautiful line from something I've read.
Love all your posts MNG
Jo

Hey Joanne

Yep - the blogosphere is a great compendium of not only half thoughts and questions but a superb therapeutic outlet.

Thank you for visiting and your kind words.

Cheers
