When I think about how I have neglected my blog, I become wracked with guilt. Well, not always. Most times I am. I used to be such a dedicated blogger, sometimes blogging several times in 1 day.
Many people I know have moved on from their blogs - sometimes to other social networking tools and sometimes offline.
However, I still spend a lot of time online, though most of that time is dedicated to work. And of course, I have my daily blog reads. I just don't dedicate that much time to my own blog.
Reading Ree's post on Ten Important Things She's Learnt about Blogging, I am struck that I hardly do any one of them consistently - be it writing often, being myself or pushing through my writer's block.
A few moments later, I stumbled upon 101 Cookbooks (I love food blogs, though I don't cook all that often) and discovered that Heidi Swanson, the creator of 101 Cookbooks, was the co-founder of ChickClicks an early online community targeted at young women, which among many things encouraged an interest in technology. The fact that I used to visit this site in 2000 (10 whole years ago) blew me away that I've been hanging out online for so long.
I am really going to try to post more frequently. I really will try...

Just take it slowly until you get your groove back...
It can be discouraging when you think no one is reading the post but believe me when I write that there is always someone reading even if they don't leave comments...
Thank you for your comment and encouragement, Kemi.
I will definitely try and create time to blog in the mornings as I am fresher and more creative then.
