The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Do you schedule posts in advance?
After typing away a reply in another thread I realised I may be in the minority here, but does anyone else schedule posts in advance? My website has stuff loaded on it until early May already, so I don't particularly have to think about writing for a while, and when I'm inspired I can write a load of posts and schedule them in advance.
Am I really anal, or some sort of superior being that makes up for short comings?

Ah, it's those features that everybody learns to love that starts the scheduling demon to start up! It's a commitment, like dogs, blogs aren't just for Christmas. (Unless you have a blog about Christmas I guess)

I plan posts about a week in advance. I have them lying around for the days I'm not feeling creative. If something happens that I want to share right away, I just push the post I had for that day back.

I would like to do more in advance. The days I have time to write, I try to write a few posts and then I just publish them from my iPhone throughout the week. I think being months ahead is great though! Do you post daily?

I don't post daily, I think that's too much personally, and I wouldn't read someone who posts daily as I like to read everything people write, and daily is too much. I don't have the time, which is why I schedule, otherwise it could go a month or so without nothing, I don't sit at home with a computer, but travel to random places, there isn't internet on trains, in the middle of deserts, jungles, boats etc.

No offense but....I hate that...that's mainly the reason why a blog starts to bore me. (Except you write reviews or stuff like that) It's like I want to see the blogger's emotion and of course I can't see that through a scheduled post written after 5 other posts on a Saturday afternoon, as if that brought some sense of relief after finishing homework....
I might be wrong, probably.
That's just my opinion.

That's cool, but I don't think anyone notices how far ahead I schedule though. If I'm in the mood then the 5th post will have as much passion as the 1st knocking them all out. However writing just because it's XXXday for the sake of it without anything new happening or not really being in a writing mood is in my opinion going to produce something much more poor in quality than something written months ago when the bloggers hair was on fire.
In a traditional media print, say magazines, the articles are often written months before they are published, it's only news that is written and published quickly, and even that on a daily paper is effectively a day old when it arrives in your postbox.
