What do you when you are away from your blog?
This tardiness is terrible, but with good reason. I an trying out mobile blogging (with an iPod touch app.). It looks like this spring and summer promise grand hypnotism adventures and this is one way to stay connected, though it is slow going currently with one finger typing.
Best to keep this short for now, so here is the Sunday Question (this is more toward the blogging crowd): what do you do when you are going to be away from your blog for a period of time?

Depends on how long I’m going to be gone. If it’s just a couple days I tend to pre-schedule blog posts. If it’s an extended period I simply put up a notice of why I’m gone and leave it at that.

I’m relatively new to blogging and this is a question I’m wrestling with since not blogging over my Easter break. I’m most comfortable with the idea of scheduling some posts ahead. I’m aiming to get about 2 weeks ahead and just swapping in time critical or topical posts as they come up.
I believe than many of my regular blog-watchers will respect my having a break. However, I’m putting a lot of effort into recruiting them and I wouldn’t want them to get used to not hearing from me and starting to forget to visit - I don’t want to lose them. So I’m also aiming to pre-schedule posts for when I’m away.

If it is a planned departure - I autopost several posts and try to get on as able - if it is something unforseeable then as soon as I am able to post I put a short post up just letting the readers know that I’m have a personal crisis and will return just as soon as possible and try to keep updates as often as I can.
Hope this helps.
