Melissa, just because I subscribe doesn’t mean I have to even look at the headlines… just when I want to…

Lori… I remember when kids came home ;)

My paid blog allows for dripping, which saved me this past month (when the kids come home, it’s impossible to work).

Hi Anne,
I use dripping too. I like to be ahead a couple of days just in case something comes up. I also try to keep a couple of evergreen posts saved as drafts. That way, I have access to a post to just stick up if I need it.

Hi Anne,

Yes, I too use a reader (Bloglines), but I still have trouble staying caught up on reading my subscriptions. I think I’m just subscribed to too many blogs or I have been exploring too many categories. Glad to hear your stats aren’t affected by multiple posts. Now I’m wondering if I should increase my own posts…

Melissa, I’ve sort of solved the reading problem by subscribing to a feed reader – http://feedreader.com/ is the one I use… then I can just start the reader and read the headlines, clicking only on those that interest me

As a blogger, my stats seem to indicate that my readers aren’t put off by multiple posts.

I’m confused on the subject of multiple posts in a day. I can see where it does increase traffic (more posts, more keywords, more search hits). However, I think it might have a negative impact on readership. I hesitate when blogs put out more than one or two posts per day because frankly, that’s a lot of reading to add to all of my subscriptions (which are already difficult enough to squeeze in each day). There must be a delicate balance. Any thoughts?
