Thanks for the tip! <br /><br />Rachna, that's my issue. Most of the readers are US, so I'm posting at times that they are still sleeping.<br /><br />Hi Sophie! Welcome to my blog! I did that too at one stage, but I know from experience that people stop reading posts beyond an age of their chice because they follow too many blogs to read them all. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Joe! (See above for reply :-P)<br /><br />Bluebell, true, but me first says that I should attract more readers. Posting at a time when no one is up to read it is a tad... stupid of me.<br /><br />Rosalind, they won't read my blog if they can't find it between the hundreds of old ones waiting on the reader. :-(<br /><br />Hahaha Brooke, how many blogs do you follow?

That's early morning in the US and mid morning in Europe and evening in Aus. No time will be perfect, but I also supplement it by tweeting about the new blog post across several hours (e.g. just before I switch off at night which is early evening in the US/Canada.) It works satisfactorily for me because I usually only post once a week so I'm not spamming everyone with 100s of self-promo tweets etc. <br /><a href="http://judycroome.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Judy, South Africa</a>Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-49540957746227985342011-05-14T05:57:07.185+02:002011-05-14T05:57:07.185+02:00Just keep posting when you do!
