Balancing blogging with real life

Internet — Tags: — Joe Anderson @ 10:57 pm Monday 15 September 2008

I have neglected Webby’s World of late.

The reason, I keep claiming, is that I’m too busy in real life. My work load has suddenly increased and I’m not used to dealing with the quantity of work I have and writing high quality blog posts.

Some bloggers have it ‘easy’ in the time management sense. For probloggers, blogging quite simply is their life but the rest of us have to balance our life with blogging. I, quite frankly, am struggling to do this.

I’ve struggled for some time with finding time for blogging, which is definitely something I don’t want to abandon, and I’ve had several clever suggestions.

The suggestions range from doing extremely brief podcasts, handwriting posts and scanning them in to simply increasing my use of Twitter. For me, as clever as these suggestions are, they all have flaws compared to conventional blogging.

The idea behind all of these suggestions is to provide more frequent, but briefer, content. Which is better? In the long run, proper content holds more value; it will turn up on search engines (although posts like this quite possibly won’t) and it gives you more to look back on in hinesight. Yet, in the short term, more frequent content is probably better for the subscribers. It’s a difficult choice to make.

I’d rather provide lengthier posts. Not essay length. But this long. And no, I haven’t had the time to proof-read this.
