I’m going to try and do this right. . . I’m late because I’ve been behind in the blogging community.

1)when/what time of day to you blog hop? How many times a day? — Any. But usually in the early AM or in the PM.

2)how often do you post on your blog, what time of day do you post? — Varies. I don’t really think I’m consistant in this.

3)do you go back and comment on people’s comments in your blog — Absolutely.

4)do you go back and read the comments that other people have gotten on their blog after you’ve posted a comment? Sometimes? Always? Never? — Most of the time yes I do.

5)do you use an RRS feed to read your posts? Does that make you forget about people’s blogs that don’t have a feed…like Graymatter blogs. — I do use a feed program. But I have other’s in my favorites that I desperately try not to forget.

6) does it irritate you to have to type in your info each time on some types of blogs — Not so much.

7) do black backgrounds on websites bug you? Are they hard for you to read? — No, but sometimes brighter colors are harder to read if they don’t have a good dark font against them.

do you like the “tagging” ? Do you like the quizzes? — Yep. I think their a great way to get know others.

I usually bloghop throughout the day. Depends on how busy I am at work. I rarely do it at night, don’t use the RS Feeds and wouldn’t have a clue how to. I try to post daily and try to respond to comments, though not always. I do like to leave a comment for all the blogs I visit. Never been tagged and I don’t know that I want to be – depends on what it is. I do like some of the quizzes, although some are quite cheesy!

wow, there’s a variety of answers. Though it appears the first thing in the morning blog hop wins. Second goes to off and on during the day. Not many RSS feed to read them. I do but I don’t read them on the feed, I click on the link so I get the full text & pictures, etc. I like to hop in the mornings, but don’t always have time. Hate black backgrounds. Too hard for me to read. Not big on tagging, but the quizzes are okay, though I’m lazy, so they have to really interest me for me to really do them.

There, and I didn’t answer them in the right order either.

Hey, Kacey, I’m fixing the typo in the link. I hope.

1)Sporadically throughout the day. I blog or surf when I need a mini-break.
2) 3-5 times a week
3) Depends on the type of comment, but yes, usually[
4) Sometimes. Depends on the type of discussion it is.
5) Not yet. I just rotate through my favorites list.
6) No, it’s a little thing.
7) No, but I have pretty good eyesight anyway.
I do quizzes if I’m in deep avoidance mode.

1. I bloghop periodically throughout the day. It makes me not realize how much time I actually spend doing it.
2. I post every 4th day at least, and I usually do the next day’s post late at night.
3. Yes, I comment on people’s comments. I like to think of it as a conversation.
4. I sometimes read the other comments on other people’s blogs. Actually, usually.
5. I set myself up to read RSS feeds and I liked it, but because several blogs I love don’t have it, I’ve stopped using it for now.
6. I prefer to not have to type my info in each time. (Which reminds me, I STILL have my wrong link on yours. I’ll try to remember to change it now!)
7. Black backgrounds aren’t my favorite but I get over it fast.
8. I don’t do much tagging or quizzes, but I think I’d do more if it were only my blog and I had to post every day.

1) I bloghop first thing in the morning, usually around 6 a.m. Since I’m on the West Coast, a lot of blogs have been updated. I blog hop on and off all day because I’m home and my laptop is in the kitchen with a wireless Internet connection, so its easy to do.
2) I try to post once a day M-F but sometimes stuff happens and I miss.
3) Yes, if there is a question or I think I need to clarify my post.
4) Usually. I love to read comments particularly if the post is controversial.
5) I do use Bloglines on a few blogs, but the RSS feed is about a day off, so sometimes its easier just to go through my bookmarks. What usually happens is I will be going through comments and click on other people’s links to read their blogs.
6) I rarely have to. My pc does it for me.
7) I dislike black backgrounds.
I’ve only been tagged once. Some of them are okay. The quizzes are kind of fun.

1. I start my day with bloghopping. MUST. BLOG. HOP. I used to go to my regular haunts twice a day. I’m narrowing that down to just once now.
2. I’ve posted up to 3 times a day on my blog. Sometimes I’m inspired, sometimes I’m just pissed. And the times? Once in the morning, barring any unforeseen circumstances. And usually once in the afternoon/evening. Fourish.
3. I didn’t used to. I thought it would annoy people, honestly. But now I do. It kind of closes the circle for me.
4. Yes. Most always. Once again-closure.
Blog closure. I really do need professional help.
5. No RSS. Don’t know how. Don’t want to. Visiting is more personal. And besides…how would I know when you’ve put a picture up or changed colors?
6. YES! Save me! But then, when I clear my cookies and history, I have to anyway. But in the meantime, it irritates me slightly.
7. I loathe black backgrounds. My eyes rebel.
8. Love the quizzes, though I sift through what I want. Tagging? I don’t mind being tagged, I just feel bad about tagging someone else. And I suck at it.

I love to blog. It’s a great way to motivate me in the morning. Tap. Tap. Tap. And then away we go.

BTW, recently discovered yours, and you’re on my short list of visits.

1 & 2)I usually write my blog post when I get to work in the morning. I blog hop throughout the day to stave off the boredom of my job.:wallbash:

3 & 4)I do go back and comment on comments and I’ll check back on others comments after I’ve left one.

5)I have no idea what an RRS thingy is…

6) Not really. I save my irritation for the big stuff, like people who switch lanes without using their blinker.

7) do black backgrounds on websites bug you? Are they hard for you to read? – never gave it much thought

do you like the “tagging” ? Do you like the quizzes? – I have yet to be tagged, and Yes, I am partial to the quizzes.

I blog hop at night. I try to post comments but with time constraints it difficult. I’d love to do more with the blogs, my blog but I teach so I’m always juggling writing, blogging and grading papers. — like now.
