I remember an episode of The West Wing where they referred to fridays as laundry day and take out the trash day because they could dump stories that they didn’t want anyone to read on friday because people don’t read the paper on the weekends.
I have noticed a startlingly similar pattern with the blogs and journals that i read with only minimal posting over the weekends for the most part and it really doesn’t pick up until late monday my time as the North Americans come back from their weekends and things start ticking over again. I on the other hand try and buck the system, posting more on weekends to fill in the gaps and provide content that wouldn’t normally be out there in the hope that perhaps people spend a little more time reading my blogs/journal but having been looking at the stats of my hits and comments I think i might drop that idea, or alternatively write the posts and thanks to being able to control the time that they post, leave them to post during higher traffic days. Has anyone else had these kinds of thoughts or am I just over thinking things?

I think during the week people have access to blogs coz they are sitting in front of a computer and they are bored at work/educational instution. Weekends I guess they are out and about and not in front of the comp!

Your probably 100% right. It could just be that i have no life while everyone else does too i suppose LOL.

No, I have no life either, Greg. I too notice how the net goes dead quiet on the weekends. Mind you, its not that lively during the week these days:(

I tend to post more on the weekends because I’m not completely knackered from work. But very rarely people tend to comment. A shame because all my best posts are the ones that I actually have time and effort to write properly.

Claire - oh good its not me. During the week i have a lot of stuff to read as I have heaps of feeds that i subscribe to so i can spend a couple of hours reading when i get home
Fern - maybe you need to write your best posts on the weekends and post them during the week so that you get the best of both worlds ?

That might just be a plan
