Social Media got you confused?

Social Media got you confused?
Here's a quick explanation by the Idea Lady, Social Media Explained by Cats.

Good heavens, she also has a post about promoting your own blog.

Reading and writing blogs

Are you a weekday or a weekend blog reader and/ or blog writer?

A friend took a poll of bloggers and discovered that they usually blog during the week because they're busy with family during the weekend. (or away from their computer for some other reason.)

As for me -- I'm busy during the week (working as a full-time librarian going crazy setting up the Summer Reading Program.)
I come home too pooped to ponder on a blog. Therefore, I often blog during the weekend when I have more energy.

What's your blogging reading or writing habit?

A comment about Comments

I'm beginning to see why other writers give prizes (copies of their books) to people who leave comments on their blog. I actually won a book myself just because I had left a comment. Since I'm also a librarian and actually have too many books (is there such a thing as too many books?), I suggested she not send it to me, but to donate it to a needy library somewhere else.

After a while of blogging and not getting comments, you kinda assume that you are writing in a private journal. That's okay. I"m often using this blog as a journal. For example, blogging while I'm at a conference helps me get my notes in order -- I have to write reports when I get back to work explaining what I learned. I've found that getting the conference notes down in a blog makes those reports so much easier to write.

Now, I fully intend to give prizes to people that comment to messages, myself. However, you'll have to wait for them. Next Fall, during the weeks leading up to Halloween, I'll be awarding copies of my latest Halloween book to some lucky people. It might be you.
