    Maybe 2 hours, but I spend way more time coding ;)

  2. theMike (3 comments.) says:

    3-4 hours per day as well, mostly spent reading. Usually I reserve the first hour of my day for my own site.

    For me, it’s a harder question because I fit into a somewhat unique category: people who blog for a living. I started blogging as hobby, and my personal blogging got me noticed by a company I now work for as Blogmaster. (Yes, my actual title.) So reading blogs, writing for blogs, managing blogs, etc., is part of my job. Between work blogging and personal blogging, I easily approach 8 hours a day, if not more.

    Read blogs is what I first do in the morning, similar to the people who like to read newspapers, usually it takes around 1 hour. Then, during the day, I can do the same maybe 3 or 4 times, they won’t take as much time but I also spend a little bit tweaking my WP installation, handwritting future posts, answering email and spreading the word. Certainly it’s a lot of time each day.

    I think I spend about the same about of time as you do Mark. Anywhere from 30 minutes to 10 hours, but I’d say an accurate average would be 2-5 hours a day.

    I spend varying amounts of time on my blog as well. Some posts take alot of research, others are more quick finds I think worthy of sharing. I do read the other blogs and online news sources before I start, sometimes choosing to join in but other times finding something different to write about. I’d have to say I also average in the 2 to 5 hours a day which would include research.

    The BlogMaster – coming soon to a comic near you.

    Usually 2-3 solid hours per week. That doesn’t count the miscellaneous websites that I blog about using the “Press It” function in WordPress.

    Probably about an hour a day. I set one up years back, and then let it go… did it again let it die; now I’m blogging with a vengenance. Setting it up, and tweaking the hound out of my site – which I still hate the look, but don’t have about 12 hours to code it myself to my anal retentive, obsessive compulsive tastes.; but such is life.

    Too much. I try to make a post every day, sometimes two, and spend a good deal of time writing some of them…I don’t know how much time I spend reading other people’s. Today was even worse in the sense that WordPress is throwing a FIT at me, deleting my entire stylesheet whenever I try to edit it, and the sidebar is apparently invisible under certain conditions…probably not as much as five hours a day as some of the other commenters (5 hours!?) do, but too much time for my own good. =p

    I go from 1-6 hours a day, but I think I average about 2 and 1/2. I take notes on my experiences seeing art pretty regularly and about half of those notes make the cut to the blog.

  12. geeksmakemehot (2 comments.) says:

    I have about 10 – 15 blogs I read each day.

    I normally post 2-3 posts a day on my own blog.

    I spend A LOT of time themeing.

    So add that all up, average it out, 4-5 hours a day.

    I spend about an hour a day

  14. bingu (2 comments.) says:

    I am not sure .
    maybe 4 hour~

  15. Lelia Katherine Thomas (15 comments.) says:

    It depends on for what category I am currently writing. Reviews of things like music/books/etc. can take only an hour for me, with research, but deeply-important political, societal, and religious and/or scientific write-ups can take me up to three, give or take a little, depending on the research involved. :)

  16. neuro (1 comments.) says:

    When I’m jobless, I spend about 2-3 hours a day writing, otherwise 1 hour.
    And I spend about 1 hours reading too.

  17. Darren (1 comments.) says:

    6-10 hours per day – 7 days a week.

  18. Eric (1 comments.) says:

    How do you show related posts and how is that determined? Posts with the same categories?

  19. inky says:

    between 0-3 hours a day… the average is probably 1. unless i’m redesigning my site (which i’ve done three times in the past year and a half) or coding a script… then it can be 8 hours, since i like to get that kind of stuff done in one go.

    Not enough.

  21. Blog Mistress (1 comments.) says:

    I only spend about 2- 4 hours a day blogging. I found myself spending 10 to 12 hours on the computer doing whatever. Blogging has actually saved me a lot of time. I incorporated all of my websites into one site. I’m an author and I had a website for every one of my book titles and anything else I could think of. I also write short stories, so I had a short stories website. With the power of blogging software, I save hours out of a day the blogging software has saved me time and made my life much easier. Thank God for Blogs!

  22. Terry (1 comments.) says:

    Probably 2 – 3 hours a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I try to post on my blog at least once a day, but usually do more than that. Most of my time is spent keeping tabs on other blogs that are industry related as well as personal interests. What I do need to spend more time on though is blog design! lol

  23. Jerome (1 comments.) says:

    I’m not doing it for a living (not yet…) but I spent at least 6-8 hours a day blogging…
    I read a lot to find subjects for my own blog and I try to post something interesting 2 or 3 times a day.

  24. Simon (10 comments.) says:

    Since i have begun to get really involved with blogging (ive had a blog since 2002 and only recently began to use it), ive been spending upto 10 hours a day on it. If I find something that is interesting to me I will blog about it, I will also blog about daily happenings as well as blogging about other blogs… all in all ive managed to have an average article per day at about 4 or 5 posts a day :o

  25. renee (1 comments.) says:

    Ive been up to 17 hours, at the most, but this was because I had so much complications and had to email my server about 12 emails. Sign. I go to school, so if I have holidays and have nothing to do, I can easily stay on for 12 hours. yes I have no life

  26. Rishona (1 comments.) says:

    I spend more time reading other blogs than on my own. I often blog when I get some slow time in the day (so it’s sporadic). My guess would be 3-4 hours a day on average.

  1. Writing a blog

    For some days now I have found blogging not too easy and thought I could compose an entry on my “difficulties”:
    At first I thought that I am just an “average writer” as described by Chetan: someone whom words fail sometimes (especially in my case…
