I have been following this blog for awhile. In this case, my interest in it is personal - the author of this blog is the sister of one of my closest friends. I also follow it because I enjoy the content. It is a food blog that deals with food that I like and restaurants that I may actually go to. The author lives in Hamilton so a lot of the featured restaurants are out of reach for me. However, she does come from Montreal originally so when she is home for a visit some Montreal establishments get written-up. In some cases, I have actually been to the restaurant with her. Unlike the other blog I follow, this one only has 27 followers and only generates a couple of comments per post. I am also drawn to it because of the pictures that go along with the write-ups, it brings the food alive for me.
The interesting this with this blog is how I find myself feeling about how often there is a new post. I find that the author goes in spurts. Sometimes there is no new post for quite awhile and other times there are many in the span of a few days. I find myself irritated if it goes to long with no new post, I guess I am impatient. On the other hand, if there are a bunch of new posts in a short period of time I am equally irritated but for other reasons. When there are too many posts in a short period of time I feel overwhelmed and don't take the time to read through them carefully. There is no winning with me!
Thank you for the tip - it's a great blog. Very helpful on this Saterday morning to plan what we will have for dinner.
ReplyDeleteAbout you reflexion on the number of post, I'm wondering if their is a magic number. One per day ?
I am not sure about a magic number. Perhaps a magic pattern? If I knew to expect a new post every "X" days maybe I would be satisfied?
ReplyDeleteI have to say I feel the same way! I used to follow phd comics and those were generally updated twice a week at a predictable time. It was so much more satisfying.
ReplyDeleteAlso what I find engaging about some blogs is when the author responds to comments. Blogs where no discussion results from comments eventually lead to my boredom.
