Couldn't resist! I generally post just once a day. English may be my first language (I used to be fluent in Spanish - those days are gone!) but I struggle with posting daily. I can't even imagine what you go through and bravo for making the effort! Calvin: So you wish you were a four-foot-ten-and-three-quarter-inch ABC? Couldn’t resist!

I post once a day and sometimes only one post on weekend. Even then, I'm struggling to find topic to write and then work doubly hard to make sure there is minimal error. English is not my mother tongue - which makes it even tougher. Wish I was you. Well, I’m the opposite. I post once a day and sometimes only one post on weekend.

She figured you were too busy coding at your dual-monitor workstation! <strong>Gary:</strong> I barely have enough time to write one post, much less 2 or 3! Most of my posts take at least 1 - 2 hours to complete taking into consideration the writing, editing, actual posting, and reviewing to see how it looks. I spend quite a bit of time thinking about what I want to write and have several rough drafts covering different topics. I can dash out an informational post but anything else takes me a while as I consider things like approach (funny, serious) tone of voice (3rd person or first person). I want my writing to be easy to read and to take the reader somewhere, however briefly. I touched on this in my comments for "<a href="http://qmusings.com/blog/2007/04/05/can-you-run-out-of-words/" rel="nofollow">Can You Run Out Of Words</a>?" I've started the "Intermissions" posts to try my hand at short quick posts. Sewell: Yes, Ms. Q had no idea you were so frequent a visitor.

[Well, now you know =)] My commenting on the "slowing" down on postings was more in reference to try to build up comments and building a community around the posts. By having these rapid postings, interesting topics that are not in the top 5 are mentally considered old and results in people stop commenting on the topic. As for the RSS Readers, I haven't one that I like. I still like firing up my browse and visiting my sites one by one. I've come across alot of interesting things that I probably would have missed if I used an RSS reader. Unknown to Ms. Q, I actually probably visit her site 3-4 times a day.
