Ah, that felt good! What I’ve just experienced was a long holiday sabbatical away from all things blog related. If you think less of me for doing that then you should take a good long look at your own life and commitments and the value you place on them.

There’s a point coming here. Even though I took a break from blogging, I didn’t lose touch completely. I have a select group of tweeple (twittiquette for people you tweet with on twitter.com) whom I follow and listen carefully to regarding social marketing. They all pretty much agree that it is very necessary that you should contribute to your blog a bare minimum of once per week. On a general basis, I agree, but only for the sake of giving your readers something interesting to repeatedly come back for.

Let’s face it folks! This IS real life here. Although my readers are in my top five list of priorities, I have to put my family and household higher up. And I have no guilt for it. I am neither married to my job or my blog.

Okay, enough with the diatrite about priorities. The hiatus is over and I’m back. And while I was gone I may not have been typing, but my mensan mind was ticking. Look for upcoming posts about splash pages, the evolution of twitter, the iPhone, web design in our failing market, and more.

On this wonderful day in America let’s never forget what we are truly celebrating. This is the day to celebrate our freedom. Also our day to celebrate our unity as a nation. We are people who have gathered from all over the world into a diverse population of the free. Let’s celebrate that ability to live side-by-side in this glorious nation today.

Remember to share with one another today. Help those who don’t have what you have. Celebrate our diverse unity.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

The NCAA this week announced a formal program limiting how often bloggers with media credentials can update their blog while attending championship college events.

The sports governing body set blogging limits for each sport. For example, those at football games can update their blogs three times per quarter and once at halftime. For basketball, bloggers can post five times per half, once at halftime and twice per overtime period.

When did it all come to this? It used to be acceptable to post to your blog once a month, or for the over-zealous, once a week. But 12 times WHILE watching a championship college basketball game?

Nowadays, the standard seems to be at least once per day for avid (non-media) bloggers. Personally I’m still lucky if I can squeeze once a week into my schedule! So am I not typical any more? Have the standards changed? I’d love to hear your blogging habits. How often do you post, and when you do, is it just “Hey, the weather stinks today!”, or do you really have profound posts every time?
