Do you blog during holidays

Why not??

If you do, how would you choose the content? Is it something that’s relaxing, not too technical, tips, or maybe jokes? This question came to my mind when considering that there’ll be a lot of holidays in these coming weeks. For me, normally, when I’m on a holiday or vacation, I seldom open my notebook to read my RSS reader, but I do check my email in case if there’s any important issue.

So when a holiday ends, I’m struggling to read all the unread posts on my RSS reader, even on some of my favorite blogs. If you’re using Google reader, I’ll use the List View function to view the post titles only, so most of the time, I’m only reading the title that catches my attention.

If most people is like me, blog sphere would be slightly silent during this period, with less posts, less visitors and maybe less advertisement.

So if yes is the answer to the question above, are you going to leave your blog without any posts (again why not) during the holidays? If you’re a famous blogger, it shouldn’t be a problem to find guest bloggers to post any article based on any topic that you provide. Or you can set the post timestamp function, so your article will be automatically posted based on the timestamps, but of course you must have bunches of articles in advance.

How about if you’re a new blogger, or a part time blogger with not much ideas and articles and no one would like to be guest blogger, what would you do? Would you post anything as long as your day does not end without a post??

I have a few ideas that might sound familiar to some of you, but for now, I’d like to know what you think, or if you have something that is uncommon but beneficial.

I will blog even during holiday. I’m looking forward to blog throughout the coming Chinese New Year.

I never short of ideas as I have a list of ideas waiting to be published.

However, I don’t always give out solid heavy content because I blog everyday. I would rather give my readers some time to digest the heavy content.

If you do not have content to write, here are come blogging ideas:

write review for other blogs
write product review
weekly/monthly round up
pool
Q&A post
Blog about your daily life’s experience related to your blog topic.
Post a video and give your perspective
and many many more. :)
