Comments on: Death by Blogging? http://mumsgather.com/2008/04/09/death-by-blogging/ My very own mini, personalised, parenting resource. A cyber filing cabinet of parenting articles and links. I love sharing my children's favourite sites, online games, crafts and exchanging childcare stories and parenting issues faced with other parents.

Like I read this entry of yours in my feed ytd, and wanted to comment but only found time today. Dying from blogging maybe an exaggeration but I think there're health hazards associated with it. Like shoulder aches, backaches, etc. Unfortunately, there's only 24 hours in a day... <strong>And neckaches too. :P</strong> I’ve also cut down on the time I blog hop.

And I know what you mean by a SHAM being more tempted to blog. Until recently, I have used this as an escapism from the kids and leave them to play under the watch of grandma. Shall not stress her more then I should and go back to just blogging at night when all is asleep. hehehe.. Also must not be such a busy body and blog-hop so much. Just visit a few by turn, kinda like lunch dates with different friends on different days, eh? <strong>I like your analogy of having lunch dates with different friends on different dates. Its a good analogy. Afterall you can't visit ALL of your friends EVERYDAY can you? Haha. As for me, I find rotating around my blogroll difficult. So what I do is blog hop only a few die hard fav of mine and on days when I'm freer (can't control my blogging) you would see me everywhere hopping around like a rabbit. Hahaha. I also try to rotate blog hopping and blog posting if I can.</strong> I appreciate this post. And I know what you mean by a SHAM being more tempted to blog.

I haven't finished reading a whole book for quite a while now and most of my 'free' time at home is spent at my pc. bad. bad. bad. so for starters, I have taken off the comments section of my blog, so I am not always checking to see if anyone has commented! And I will blog again when I feel like it....only when I feel like it. <strong>You're not that bad wut. I think the time you spend updating your blog is just nice. :)</strong> Bravo! bravo!! well said. coz i feel exactly the same way and it’s getting tiring…checking for comments, racking my brains on what to blog next, feeling bad if i don’t blog hop through my blogroll.

Unlike a physical diary, part of the attraction of writing blogs is the interaction you get from your readers. That's how it is for me anyway. And yes, when I first started I was really "addicted"! But after 2 years, I'm wiser now, hahaha!! <strong>Sama sama. The interaction holds the same attraction for me and yes, after 2-3 years, I also became wiser but not as wise as I'd like to be.

Just a break... But as soon as I am home and mostly during the weekend, I am absent from my blog. Sometimes not because I don't want to but my son and my hubby keeps me occupied enough.

I spend nearly every waking hour on the internet. Even now when my modem is fried I'm at a mamak shop armed with a notebook and connected via WiFi. I guess it's my past job too. As a web programmer I stare at the computer 10 hours a day. Yes I've heard of extreme stories like you mentioned and I'm forcing myself to get away from the computer more frequently. I'm starting to take more naps in between and walk to the supermarket just to buy minor groceries. <strong>Hi Andrew. Its unhealthy for a casual blogger but I can imagine how much more unhealthy it is for a problogger who MUST get the story out immediately and you know how quickly news becomes stale on the internet. If you're too slow or far behind in getting the story out no one wants to read it anymore, not after reading 100s of different versions of the same story. I bet when your modem got fried you feel like frying the pc as well from frustration. Hahaha.</strong> I’m definitely one of those at the high risk category of dying from blogging.
