There is coming up with and thinking about the initial idea, researching any facts, structuring the content, and if any images are needed there is the time either searching for suitable ones or creating them. There are also all the posts that never make it onto the Blog - I have about fifteen posts that have been started but never finished for different reasons.

The timings are also variable depending on the type and size of a post. I would say I probably spend a good few hours on IT Pro and GizmosforGeeks every week and a Monk and his IT Junk cartoon typically takes about 3 hours and I am currently doing several per week - so factoring it all in I am probably Blogging for about 10 hours+ per week.

With two small kids running around (as well as the day job, the novel and the Uni work) time is a highly sought after commodity in my life.

One thing I’ve improved on, is managing my time spend blogging. Its certainly is time consuming.

How long do you spend a week?

I’d anything from 5 to 10 hours for me.
