Missing a Blog Post
Since starting this blog, I have posted new content at least once per day; that is until yesterday. Trouble with my ISP held me back from posting new content for the first time in about three months. While this is not a huge deal, it can be disappointing. After all, I take great pride in updating this blog every day.
So what did I learn from this? First off, using the WordPress time stamp feature is a great idea. If I would have had a time stamped post waiting, the lack of an internet connection would have made no difference.
Additionally, I also learned that blogging can be an addiction. I was checking my internet connection all day long in hopes that I could sneak in a quick update for all my readers. Unfortunately, this never happened, but none the less I spent a lot of time Saturday thinking about this blog.
When it comes down to it, not updating your blog one day is not going to kill your readership. But remember, this is not a habit that you want to get into. Hopefully I can start another long streak of at least one post per day!

Blogging is addictive? When did this start happening?
I started writing posts 2 days in advance with scheduled releases planned a few months back because my ISP was dropping my connection every few hours (right after upgrading to their “premium service”, too).
That said, scheduled posts are great when you plan on taking a day or two off blogging while keeping the content active

I try to make posts a few days in advance but is kind of hard for me since making one post can drain the energy and motivation to do another one. So I always have to make a new post everyday.
