It has come to my attention (through reading books on the subject, etc.) that the blogs with the largest readership are the blogs with continuous new content. I've added sidebars with changing info on this and my other web pages (including the ones I manage), but still, the idea of having to write something every day just seems wrong.
It takes blogging out of the realm of the fun and jams it firmly into the domain of work. It turns it into a daily column. Not a work of art, but a work of necessity. And this (most often) without pay, a volunteer position.
How many of us have something interesting to say every single day? And, if we do, how many of us have the chutzpah to post it online, where anybody in the world can read it? If I stopped to think about how many page hits I get, would it make me blog more or less? And does it really matter?
Today's blog is only interesting if you're a blogger, I think. Tomorrow's blog: well, that should be something completely different!

Book Blog Tour Coming--- Your Opinions Wanted
Blog book tours are much like regular book tours, except the authors get to answer questions and don't necessarily get to sign books. However, it's great for them, because it generates more buzz about their upcoming books, and it's great for the readers, because they get to learn something about the book in advance.
So, here's my question to you, my readers: if you could ask the writers who are going to be on my blog one favorite question, what would it be? Please post your questions here. I can't guarantee that I'll use them, but I'm definitely interested in what you'd like to know.
I'm planning to do the first of the blog interviews in the first week of July, so hurry and post your questions, please! Thanks!

Moving to a New Location
Moving is never easy, even when it's on-line. However, since I discovered that my former blog location didn't allow comments except from other members of the site, I was already considering it. Then today, I wanted to put a post on a member's site here at blogger and discovered that she wasn't allowing posts from just anyone, so that did it!
It will probably take some time before I'm fully moved in over here. In the meantime, you can find my previous writing blogs at Hope Chastain, writer's blog. As moves go, I think this one won't be so bad.
