I started to think recently about how I blog. I usually write two posts a day, most of them are scheduled. The first is usually early in the morning (5am) and the other is usually in the evening (5-6pm) my time. It made me wonder if people thought I was being rude? I can’t honestly remember the last time I remember being up at 5am. Between 5-6pm, if I’m at work, I’m leaving travelling. That’s why a lot of my posts are scheduled.
I just had this thought that maybe I was appearing to be rude? Mainly because, as I mentioned. I schedule a lot of my posts. It just got me wondering if people were thinking “Well if she’s got time to post, she’s got time to reply to my comment”? Then it had me wondering if others do the same as myself, or do you all write and publish your posts there and then? The other thing I do, is rarely do I post on the weekend. It has to be of something that is of particular interest to me. Because I have a lot of random thoughts about situations, I could write every single day of every thought that enters my head. So I give you all a break ~.^
I also write a lot of my scheduled posts on the weekend.
I tend to schedule one post at a time and sometimes I publish right there and then. When I schedule, I have the same feelings as you. But then, I figured that people would be ok with it because most do the same, i assumed. I don’t know if they do, but this scheduling works better for me and I allocate a separate time for reading, like now.

Personally, I post only twice a week (Monday and Friday) as I don’t want to overload my readers. I write my posts 4 to 5 years in advance but switch them around for timeliness. It’s explained here: https://rizziallen.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/the-blog-that-will-survive/

Oh wow! I will definitely have to read that! Do you really post 4-5 years in advance? Please forgive the lateness of my reply.

Yes, I write the posts 4 to 5 years ahead of time and then adjust them for current events, timeliness, etc. I am now at 4 years, 9 months out.

Post when you want, post what you want, and reply to comments when you want! I can’t imagine that people would find that rude – pretty daft of them.

It’s your blog, so write when you want. I know someone who publishes some of her posts at 3am US time (other posts around 3pm), but that’s because the writer has a large British following (so 3am my time is 8am British time).

🙂 I write my blog posts during the week and schedule them for the weekends; preferably at 19:30 GMT (That method seems to work well for me).
And, I might post a random blog post weekdays.

I have to admit that I haven’t blogged much at all this year, circumstances have not really permitted but I tend to post and publish when I blog.
I’m hoping that 2022 I will get back to it.
I wouldn’t worry about how you interact with others, we all have a limited amount of time in the day whatever our situations, if people read and comment then its nice to have a reply but I don’t think that everyone expects one, I tend to reply to the most relevant comments and those sites that I follow specifically.
Just my own thoughts, wishing you well.
