The Blogger's Problem On Vacation

I've been blogging now for over 4 years.  In the early days when we went on vacation my main concern was finding an internet connection to at least moderate and respond to comments.  Occasionally I would blog but it really wasn't a high priority so my blogs would mainly go with no updates while we were away.  Now in reality the day of departure and day of return are pretty much write-off days so in some cases this meant no new updates for as long as 16 days.  My how times have changed in 4 short years!

I can easily use Blogger's scheduling tool to write several posts to run while I'm on vacation.   Finding an internet connection is rather easy.  There are so many Wi-Fi hotspots even in airports so blogging is ever so easy even while waiting for a plane or eating in a restaurant.  Another blogging problem enters into the picture and that is blog fodder overload combined with vacation exhaustion.  What ends up happening is there is so much blog fodder at the end of a vacation that in itself can render a blogger with the dreaded blogger's block. At the same time you are tired from the vacation and trying to get back into your normal routine so blogging is rather easy to overlook.  Sure it may only take you 15 minutes to write a blog post but when getting back into routine this is an easy 15 minutes to do without.  An easy solution is to schedule a blog post or two to run after you get back to give you a good day to get back into your normal routine.
