I think it’s difficult to expand my network already because I don’t have much time to do so too (like going into PPS and start bloghopping). Right now I am just maintaining my network/readership size and I’m okay with it.

Of course I enjoy it very much. I’ve told some blogger friends who wanted to kill their blog that they can’t do it because once a blogger always a blogger and sure enough some of them came back to blogging after a while.

In fact, I find some of them obsess over PPP a bit :P I hope I won't have to eat my words when I'm a SAHM... <strong>Its rather competitive at PPP these days so its hard not to be just a little bit obsessive. Hehe. Anyway, when I first started I was a bit more obsessive over it, now learned to relax and let it go and that takes a lot of will power.

I used to have more time when I was in the office but now being a SAHM, I find dat 24 hours a day is just not enough. I had time to chat with my msn, yahoo, skype frens and I could handle 10 chatters when I was working in the office but now ... sigh .... no time. <strong>Hahaha Tracy. I laughed so hard when I saw your burnt pot turned so shiny and new again but then you blogged about it so if Pappy reads your blog he'll know that you almost burned his favourite pot due to blog hopping.

But what I do is prioritise amongst my blogs. I have favourites, so those must be updated daily. Then some are alternate days or maybe 4 to 5 times a week. I don't blog hop very much. I read most blogs from my google reader. But I will make it a point to comment on some of them at least a few times a week but not daily. Also, for some blogs, I read them on the weekend so that way, it's not too bad. Writing sponsored posts takes up a lot of time. For now, I do very little of it so that frees up more time to build content. <strong>I don't blog hop very much as well. I read mostly from my Bloglines feedreader. Even then quite often I have to mark them as read when I'm overwhelmed by the 100s of unread posts. Hahaha. Just one or two off days will result in several hundred unread posts.
