I don't know why I've suddenly gotten curious, but I am. So I'll ask....
What time of day do you read blogs? I read blogs all day. I obsess. But that's who I am. But it made me curious. Do you look for 'new' posts in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening? Or do you play catch up and read several days worth of posts all at once. Is there a 'better' time of day for you? Or does it matter. I know technically it doesn't matter--a new post is a new post is a new post no matter what time the blogger hits publish. But I tend to think...oh I've got to rush to get this out before ten or eleven in the morning or people will be disappointed. I don't know why my mind thinks that way.

I'm an evening reader. My husband works 2:30-11:30 pm, so I'm usually pretty bored in the evenings, and that's when I turn to the internet for entertainment. :)
I generally read blogs in between deadlines at work and at home in the evening, but I take Friday and Saturdays off--catching up on Sundays.
I read them all day, whenever I'm on the internet between work! So, usually at night on work days, and all through the day on my days off :)
Thanks for playing along, Stephanie. I guess I'm trying to figure out if I need to retrain my brain. I mean I push and push and push to do morning posts...feel pressured in a small way...but I'm not a morning person. At all. So afternoon/evening would probably be more natural for me if I wasn't trying to people-please. :)
Thanks Serena and Prophecygirl! I'm not all that good with numbers, but I do notice that Fridays and Saturdays are typically slower overall for visitors than other days of the week. Monday through Wednesday for some reason are always big days :) I don't know why. I try to analyze to see if I write differently on those days as opposed to the weekends, but so far I haven't figured out why.
I sometimes read blogs throughout the day, when I'm at work (supposed to be doing other things, usually!), but I more often read my Google Reader at night while watching TV in the background. I used to obsess about trying to post in the mornings - although usually I would just schedule the posts the night before - but now I just post whenever I have the time to write. It was too stressful to worry about it, people will read them whenever you post them I figure. :)
How interesting. The site that is republishing your feed has deleted the first sentence and the copyright notice. Strange things are afoot. Ugh.
I read blogs all day but generally don't have time to leave comments until kids are in bed and I can sit down in front of a movie. Otherwise, I'd be an awful mom.
Natasha, actually they didn't. I didn't think to put it up top until after I'd already published it. Since they've stolen my rss feed, it only caught the first one. Not the revision.
I switched to 'brief' feed. And now their posts make little to no sense. And I think anyone could tell--if they couldn't before--how useless that site is!
I do most of my blog reading after school between the hours of 3:00 to 4:30 pm, then I finish up my homework, read, eat dinner, and watch a little television with my dad until bed. Sometimes, like right now, I read blog posts while watching television (as long as it's not something really good or requires me total attention).
Early morning, and evening—just now. When no clients are calling, after the meals have been made, before my husband's favorite show, Top Chef.
I read my blogs at night after work mostly. But if I have a day off I intersperse them with reading whatever book I'm reading, it helps break up my day a bit. Great question!
I read blogs all day long, but I schedule my posts for 5 AM Pacific time. There's no telling when the show up in feed readers, though.
I read blogs off and on all during the day, whenever I have the time. Usually in the evening I have a longer time to be able to read blogs. On the weekends I rarely read them.
I read in the evening and at weekends
It depends. Normally in the morning I go through my reader (which is what I'm doing now), but don't have time to leave comments. So I just mark the posts I plan to comment on later as unread. If I'm working on the computer, I come back throughout the day. If not, I leave my more in-depth reading and commenting for the evening.
I read them first thing in the morning after I have done my own blogging posts, so somewhere between 6-7 am.
I check them in the morning when I first get to work, then again at night after my son goes to bed!
I am definitely am a morning reader! It's the first thing I do when I get to work and I usually check back throughout the day. What can I say, I'm addicted!
I post in the morning just so I don't forget what I read. I read some in the morning, but right now it's lunch time. Not all blogs get hit every day, so it won't matter to me if you don't have a posting up by a certain time, since I look back over a couple of days. I think you can relax a little!
Sometimes I get to it first thing in the morning, usually it's around noon. And there are times when I check back in the evening. And I'm a feed reader, which is why I'm horrible about commenting...
I read mostly in the morning and in the evening. Usually I'll have to read several days worth of posts in one go because I fall behind quite often. Because of the time zone differences I usually read American blogs the day after they've posted.
I have a little one so I read blogs and books whenever she is entertained with something else or asleep. So usually I read in the morning. :)
Ideally I'd like to read once a day but that never happens. Instead it adds up to 1000+ on my google reader and I play catch up. I used to keep it up until I added more and more blogs to my reader. I don't always read in morning or evening or anything. It varies.
Interesting question. I use a Reader so I try to read a few here and there depending on my schedule. Weekends tend to give me more time to get caught up. (I think I've read all January posts now - I hope.) Comments don't happen very often, but I'm doing better.
Thanks for posting the blogging etiquette 101. It's good to see it spelled out. I'm so sorry about the theft of your blog.
