Very good article. It sounds like a lot of us have the same issues! I have had to make choices on checking email, etc. myself. We must remember to use our powers only for good, and turn away from the dark side

I’m pretty much like Vic Grace – retired -so theoretically, my time is all my own. However, it really isn’t because I babysit my two little grandchildren, plus I do the bulk of the cooking here for my daughter, son-in-law and their children -occasionally (maybe once or twice a week, my son may be here for supper too). I have tons of craft projects I would like to make, several books I’ve been reading (two for over a couple of years that I have yet to finish), in addition to research I started about 2-3 years ago for a history I would like to write about our local community and all of those have been frequently pushed aside due to the call of the chair and computer and blogging! So I do need to prioritize my time a bit better here!

@Jerry
Thanks for the insightful comments – words to live by. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!

@Jeni
Hi Jeni, To be honest, I don’t know how to respond to your comment You and Vic are older and wiser, and I tend to listen and respect your opinion rather than give suggestions. By the way, I enjoyed your latest post!

@Marcus
Hey Marcus, wow, you’re a busy man! Take it easy, bro!

@Cris
Thanks pare. I also intend to monetize my blog, like what Mert suggested, although my main priority right now is my day job.

@Jani
Thanks for coming back. I’ll be waiting for your post, it sounds useful and interesting so please feel free to put your link here.

Setting up everything blog related to be manageable from a mobile phone is technically free, as the only things you’d pay for are a flat-rate mobile data plan and the phone itself.

I’ve got an unlimited mobile data plan of 384kb/sec for 10 euros a month (I live in Finland) and I can also use wifi when available to access the net.

For email I use Gmail, but every other email client also offers either POP or IMAP to push email to mobile devices.

Most blog platforms have some sort of mobile client or site to use, or plugins. I’m just starting out so I’m still with wordpress.com, which has a mobile site for stats and posting.

And as for the actual device, I’m using the Nokia N95, and I’m also purchasing the Nokia N810. Pretty much any highend mobile phone will work for mobile blogging, just gotta make sure it supports fast speed internet, wifi, and push email (and has adequate RAM). A good keypad and nimble thumbs helps too, or a bluetooth keyboard.

I don’t have a blog post on this yet, but thanks for the great idea! I’ll get to work on it as soon as I can and I’ll post the link here when it’s done. (Christmas time in Retail is pretty hectic to say the least, so it might take a few weeks…) =)

saedel,

it’s good that you realize it so soon. sometimes i myself get the pressure of having to produce blogs just for the sake of blogging…good thing my blog title still reminds me not to take it seriously – “Killing Time…” is just what it is supposed to be.

i don’t do blog at work. i stay focus…well, most of the time. i do my blogs and other internet stuffs at home.

work is work. blog is blog. these two shouldn’t compete with each other and besides as you mentioned that without the income, the site will stop to exist.

keep up the good work, but keep the money coming – i.e, keep the day job.
