Vyoma – How did you arrive at the decision to publish articles on particular days and at particular times? Did you consult your traffic logs to find the most popular times, use trial and error, or just guess?

I think it’s definitely a good idea to set yourself a posting routine and to stick to it – just as long as your routine and targets are attainable and sustainable!

I just close my eyes to the fact that posts must be timed for the traffic. For my two blogs (one tech and one art), I follow an editorial process. 2 posts every week. One on Thursday 12:00 GMT and another on Sunday 12:00 GMT. It is rare that I have had to miss the beat.

(On my personal blog though, I have the posting frequency gone to the dogs. I just post crazily there. )

Car News Guy – I love the way you have managed to address the problem of slow news days over the weekend by still writing great content. Writing something a little more light hearted but still of good quality is a great way of keeping your readers happy.

My blog is very ‘news’ focused right now, which makes it hard to post on weekends, when news is generally quieter. I usually try and find something weird/interesting for weekends. Things like volkswagen vs elephant vs little people, usually keep me occupied!

Sutocu – Videos aren’t for everyone. Some bloggers think their visitors will love them but often get a shock when the criticisms come flooding in!

I would say that if you are determined to offer them, make them optional and always ensure you offer a transcript alternative for those who don’t have the time or inclination to watch a video.

I definitely agree that videos are not for everyone!

I have it when I stumble on a blog with 50 posts per page, and a video clip in half of them. Takes ages for the browser to load etc. Only include quality clips, and not often even them.
