That is a great question with a simple answer. A couple weeks ago Dave, my office mate, and I were talking about our blogs and the lack of activity with them. It essentially came down to the decision of whether I get rid of the blog altogether or start posting more frequently. As you can tell of late, I’ve gone with the latter option.
So, this past week I devoted about 30 minutes of my lunch each day to write a post. Is 30 minutes a lot of time to write a post? Obviously, if you read this blog you know that writing isn’t my forte, so it takes me a little longer than your average Joe to write a 450 300 word post. And more than half of those words are quoted material, as I digress…
Anyway, my goal for the next few months, depending on my schedule, is to blog regularly. I’m not going to guarantee everyday like this past week, but, Lord willing, I’m shooting for at least three times a week. The content will vary, but a large majority will come from books that I’m reading, similar to this past week’s material. Every once in a while my posts will be more personal or fun, which I’m sure will please those who’ve label my blog as serious
And just who exactly are you referring to, Adam?!!!
“Is 30 minutes a lot of time to write a post?”
Seems just about right.
I can neither confirm nor deny that one of the accusers (there have been more than one) is a Whipple, but I believe there is written evidence to substantiate this charge…
I’m glad you stopped by my blog, I didn’t think anyone read it anymore!
But I’m trying to reach out to different demographics so I figure a variety of content will have a larger impact. Anyways, it’s all about the numbers, right?
In all seriousness, I think having a variety of content will help keep me motivated in my blogging endeavors.
I’m a first-time visitor, coming by way of Google, looking for some comments on John Owen’s “Mortification of the Flesh”. Being a blogger and knowing what comments mean, I’ll add a word.
After reading this post, I just wanted to say how your thoughts (or are they concerns?) about blogging life are common to most of us. How much is too much or not enough, why we blog, who is reading, so on and so forth is often in our thoughts.
I also get that “too serious” charge from time to time, more from my preaching than blogging, but my conscience tells me there is a case to be made in both areas of my life. I defend myself with saying a embrace a ’serious joy’
More than that, the Christian blogger also lives and writes from the kingdom of Christ, an act of faith peculiar to our union with Christ and unknown in the secular blogosphere or world at large.
Keep that faith, blogging or not, as I’m sure you will.
