What aspect of blogging do you find to be the most challenging. Is it coming up with new content, responding to comments etc.
Let me know. I am interested in hearing what you have to say.

For me it's balancing the time I want to spend blogging and reading blogs with other things in my life.
Doing the laundry definitely takes a back seat. ;-)
I find responding to comments the hardest because you are writing stuff that you aren't sure anyone will ever read. It's hard to get worked up about it and do a consistently good job.
For me, it's finding the balance between writing about my personal life and treating it like a diary. Even though I'm fairly anonymous, some people who know me do read my blog... I don't want them to come to my blog and find themselves reading a rant about something they did. Though it may feel pretty cleansing at the time I write it!
The hardest part is tearing myself away from it. I find myself constantly checking for and responding to new comments when I should be doing other things. :-)
Taking a break from it. I'm totally obsessed!
To be able to spend the time I want to read all the great stuff that's out there. Jack that's my problem. Not enough time in the day. Problem #2 is dealing with trolls.
There is nothing hard about blogging, except maybe dealing with some of the technical issues which pop up from time to time. I'm not a techno guru, so these kinds of things take time to figure out. I like to rewrite stuff quite alot because I'm never quite satisfied with the way I've written something. I also tend to click "post" before I proofread and edit only after I post something, instead of "drafting" entries. Oh well. I don't have trolls anymore. Very rarely. I think I must be too scary :) LOL
I don't have time to write all of the posts I want, to adequately answer the comments left on my blog, and to read my favorite blogs.
The hardest thing about blogging, yes. . .(it's my bedtime, and I'm still here.) :-)
I always run out of time before I run out of ideas. So many stories, whether important or just entertaining … so little time to do justice to them.
Dear Jack,
Getting readers (of which I know I have plenty) to post comments. Perhaps it's the sensitive nature of most of my material,they think, discouraging them from writing a response. Perhaps they feel kind of uncomfortable with it, but I do and have encouraged comments before. Alas! Little or no success.
I remain,
Very Sincerely Yours,
Alan D. Busch
Making time to blog and check out others when I don't home until 8 or 9 pm and leave at 6:15 a.m.
For me it's probably the public/private issue like babka nosher. I'm sometimes so tempted to write about everything that happens to me or whatever I'm thinking or feeling on the blog - but that's already gotten me in a bit of trouble here and there.
That, avoiding kvetching. Sometimes I just wanna kvetch but that's not really good reading so I try to keep it to a minimum.
I am going to offer a group response to your comments. Everything you have said here resonates with me.
It is a challenge to find the time to do this. I don't find it terribly difficult to come up with topics, but the time factor makes it hard to make the posts as good as I want them to be.
I sometimes find it hard to respond to all of the comments, but without them this place would be missing a vital ingredient.
