Best Time for Blog Posts to Go Live

When I first started blogging I wasn't concerned with when the post went live as long as it did.  So it ended up being different times.  When I started using Blogger's scheduling feature I set 7 AM as the time for my posts to go live and for the most part unless I'm running behind as in today's post, the 7 AM time seems logical to me.  Some of my readers especially on my cooking blog like to check the post before heading out for work.  That way if the post is about something they might like to make for dinner they can pick up anything they need on the way home from work.  I think the 7 AM posting time for the cooking blog works quite nicely because it fits in with my reader's needs.  With respect to my other blogs an early posting time is not all that important or if it is I haven't seen any indication.  I still aim for the 7 AM post time especially when scheduling posts but if I miss that I try to get the post on by noon. 

I read on one blog that the best time for a post to go live was 10 AM.  I'm not sure of the reasoning and the only logical explanation would be is perhaps this is the first break for many during the work day.  I can't say that I really notice a busier time during the day for traffic though.  It seems to be rather consistent throughout the day regardless of when I make the post.
