As a new blogger I was rather flexible in blogging. If I had something to blog about I would and if I didn't then I didn't blog. There was none of this trying to keep a blogging schedule or even blog daily. The main reason was at my age I know that life can and does get in the way of the best laid plans even when it comes to blogging. Some days despite the best of intentions there simply was not time to blog especially for multiple blogs. When Blogger came out with a new featured called scheduled posts I knew that was part of my solution. Even with scheduling there are only so many posts you can have ready in advance scheduled to run but at least scheduling can give the appearance of regular content even though life dictates no time for blogging.
I think as a blogger it is important to realize that life is going to get in the way of your blogging. You may even be forced to take an extended leave from blogging. At any rate blog when you can, using blogging tools like scheduling to help keep your content fresh then relax and wait until things settle down to allow you a bit more blogging time. Rely on pre-scheduled posts such as Wordless Wednesday where you can take a few minutes to schedule all the photos to appear for the month on the Wednesday so at worst for the month your blog gets 4 new posts. YouTube is an excellent resource for quick post material if you only have a few minutes. Just be sure to add a line or two of your own for original content. I also use a couple of cartoon sites for the occasional quick post. These types of posts will usually take less than 5 minutes to pull together but will keep fresh content coming to your blog. If you are going to be away and know you will not have internet service for the whole or partial period you can still continue writing blog posts in your spare time, save them as text documents then use cut and paste along with any pictures to add to your scheduled posts at a later date.
