The Blogging Process

Via Seb, this item is a detailed and pretty accurate look at the blogging process. The diagram will grab your eye and focus your attention, but read the commentary too. Note the time estimates. "I budget 75 minutes/day for reading (the steps in red), 60 minutes/day for writing (green), 15 minutes/day for promotion (blue), and, on the weekend, 60 minutes/week for blog community activities." This is pretty close to what I spend, though I do more realing (especially of email, such as mailing lists and subscriptions) and spend less time writing. I don't have a 'to do' list (which explains why I always miss deadlines). I do check referrers and blog megadexes (such as Technorati or Feedster) to see what people are saying, but I don't promote my blog and I don't send email to A-listers (because I live in this wonderful deluded little world in which I am one - Heh).
