Blogging Bits and Pieces

October 22nd, 2007 by Terry

Blogging in several different niches, as I do, can sometimes turn into a lot of hard work. It takes a lot of my day to feed all my hungry blogs their own special diet of relevant and unique content - especially so when I also visit lots of other blogs in similar niches to my own.

It fragments the smooth running of the blogging brain somewhat and I can sometimes be in the middle of posting in a certain blog on one subject when an idea will hit me that is perfect for a different blog in a different niche. What with Firefox not being as stable as it used to be with my several (necessary) plugins and add-ons, editing several blogs at the same time is fraught with danger that the browser could crash at any moment and some of what I’ve been editing will be lost.

Monika mentioned an alternative in her Writers Manifesto Blog called Windows Live Writer which might be useful, but I still have the habit of opening Wordpress’s own editor to write my posts despite knowing that I can lose work if the browser crashes. I’ve tried writing my posts in Notepad and copy/pasting them but it’s never the same! Maybe I’ll try something else - or not!

So this is what blogging bits and pieces comes to - a bit of a ramble about nothing in particular in the hope that something will trigger a great idea to get my teeth into. It usually works - but not this time.

So it’s an unusually short post from me today, or what’s left of today - and still nine blogs to feed…

    Nine blogs? Did you say NINE blogs?! Please, write an article teaching how to manage so many blogs at once! Oh, you also write articles as a freelancer, right? So, please teach us how to manage tons of blogs + an active writing career. ;)

    Did I say Nine blogs?

    That’s the amount of my own hosted blogs I’ve got up on MyBlogLog. I didn’t count the free hosted ones… If I told you how many I really have you wouldn’t believe me!!

    Plus the 18 squidoo lenses and growing…

    Plus the 8 websites - and they’re growing in number too…

    Plus this blog - and I’ve just agreed to regularly guest blog on two other bogs…

    Plus the freelance article writing

    Plus the articles I submit to article directories to promote all of this

    How do I do it? Easy. I’ve discovered that there are actually 48 hours in every day and I don’t need to sleep anymore… !!! :-)

    Did somebody mention sleep? …oh well I guess I am going to do that right now.

    Monika :-)

    After blogging on 4 blogs and writing 14 articles today I think I can rest for 5 hours.

    hehe…Tammy,

    Terry and I are just crazy. ;-) But in all seriousness, yes i do write an immense amount of articles and blog posts every day.

    My days as therefore very long starting at about 7AM to well past midnight. If I was to stop I wold probably fall asleep and never wake up. :-)

    What keeps me doing it. …Passion and a love for the subject. Ah yes, I nearly forgot. Money too! :-)

    Monika
