I thought this would be a really good time for an article like this. š
I had a really long week, work occupied my weekdays while I spent the weekend as a photographer covering the wedding of a VERY IMPORTANT friend of mine (Congratulations to Raysonick! Manager and co-founder of the paintball team Iām in.) and also preparing presentation slideshows for the wedding dinner, 2 slideshows with over 400 photos.
I really wish I had contents ready for publication. š
Should You?
Itās entirely up to you and your intention for your blog. If youāre fine with going MIA for a while, like having extended periods of not having new posts, then itās fine.
If you have a schedule that you intend to maintain, then perhaps you should consider doing so.
For me, I always try to have additional articles ready to post, call them āBACKUP ARTICLESā if you may. Iām sure many of you still remember my 2-weeks absense last year that lead to the article ā 2 Weeks Without New Articles. š
Running Out Of Ammo
This time around, it was unfortunate for me as Iāve used up all of my ābackup articlesā over previous weeks where I was dead busy with work and event coverage such as the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival 2008ās Gala Launch.
With so many things to accomplish in my project pipeline, I had no time to prepare any new article either. š On the other hand, my other blogs such as Buurps.com where there are co-writers, the articles are pretty much ready and all it takes is about 30 minutes for a bit of editing before new articles are published.
Good To Have.
While backup articles arenāt mandatory, itās always good to have a few just for emergencies. Just spend a day or 2 (like say during weekend?) to prepare masses of articles if you have the luxury of allocating time for it.
Do you like the idea of having ābackup articlesā? š
How many of you bloggers actually practice this?
