Re: question about blogs

**K*@aol.com**

I try to blog every couple of days to at least one of the blogs that I  
write. Some get left behind until something happens.  It doesn't take more  than 
about 20 minutes to write an entry and upload a photograph, because I keep  them 
simple and usually short. I graze other blogs and usually from Gardenweb, I  
read ones that catch my interest, and sometimes leave a note to the  writer.
I keep threatening to use rss feeds to make a blog list to check more  
regularly, but that has been on the back burner for a long time.

Mainly I do my blogs in the late afternoon or early evening while dinner  
cooks.  Housework gets done in fits and starts, but it is mainly under  control 
unless you are a perfectionist. I also do weekly blogs for a landscape  
company, and the Atlanta Examiner, but that is slightly more formal  writing.

Magazines?- gardening  magazines are in short supply here, and  although I 
pick a few up, they rarely contain more than one article that keeps  my 
attention, I use them more to see what people are writing about, than the  content. 
The exception is at the airport or when I am in England where the  choice is 
larger. 

What do I give up in order to do them? Probably nothing that I can think  of. 
 The tv is usually on with MSNBC/Cnbc or whatever, in the background  during 
the week, some football station seems to dominate the weekends, courtesy  one

My blogs:  _www.katesgardenjournal.com_ (http://www.katesgardenjournal.com)   
_www.renegadeceliac.blogspot.com_ (http://www.renegadeceliac.blogspot.com)   
and 
_www.horticulturallychallenged.blogspot.com_ 
(http://www.horticulturallychallenged.blogspot.com)  
These last two will probably migrate from blogger/blogspot when they get a  
little more established.

I'm  curious how much time the members spend each day or each week    
reading blogs.

And if you write a blog, how much time do you spend  writing it (in  
general)? I know it varies, but if you are  reading/writing blogs a  
lot, then it must mean you're cutting out  something else from your  
personal/professional life. What are you  cutting out? Reading  
magazine articles? Listening to NPR? Washing  the dishes?
