Here is an interesting post about things you should avoid blogging about. I could not agree more with the following:
…There’s no real point to those “I can’t blog ’cause I’m too busy†posts other than giving a cop-out for not keeping up with your blog. People come to your blog to read your content, not your excuses for not producing your content…
What also puzzles me is why some bloggers apologize for not blogging as frequently as they think they should or as frequently as they used to. They usually start their posts with: “I’m sorry for not blogging recently. I have been busy doing bla bla bla”. I do not see the need for an apology here, do you?
So, I’m not going to apologize for not blogging as frequently as I used to recently, I just felt that I wanted to take a short break.
I also have my parents visiting from Lebanon. My mom is a great cook, I have been enjoying her delicious Lebanese dishes everyday, and gaining more weight everyday :(. Moreover, my soon-to-be three month old baby Julie is keeping us really busy. Oops! did I say busy?!
Finally, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

How about you should not blog about how much you hate when other bloggers blog about nothing?

December 22nd, 2006, at 6:35 am #Wait a minute; let me clarify an obvious thing here. I did not blog about hating anyone. I do not hate anyone. This has nothing to do with hate.
What you blog about is your own business. I was just expressing my own opinion.

I apologize for not commenting more. I’ve been busy. heh
Just kidding.
You should get your mom to give you the recipe to your favorite Lebanese meal and post it. I don’t know much about Lebanese food.
Then we’ll believe you’ve been too busy eating!
Enjoy your time and family. Have a happy holiday break.

December 22nd, 2006, at 4:07 pm #Lewis, I will try to translate at least one of my mom’s recipes (from Arabic to English) and post it here, along with some pictures. Hope you had a nice holiday.
January 1st, 2007, at 5:21 pm #Lucky devil, I LOVE Lebanese food (grew up in Ottawa, Canada). Now I’m in Calgary and I don’t get it as much.
But on topic: yeah. No need to even worry how much you’re blogging. That’s what aggregators are for. There’s always some people blogging a little less, some a little more, and it all works out. Besides, it’s not like we’re paid for this.

Rob, since you LOVE Lebanese food, you’re always welcome to visit us here in Portland and share my mom’s delicious meals. You have until April 1st before my parents go back to Lebanon.
January 3rd, 2007, at 9:57 pm #Great! In exchange, if you want to enjoy my type of cooking, you’re welcome to visit Calgary. Here are links to the sorts of dishes I prepare…

I have to say that I’m guilty of posting one too many ’sorry I haven’t updated my blog, I’m too busy’ type posts.
I know that readers don’t come to read them but sometimes, if you haven’t posted for a bit, they do wonder where you’ve gone.
Sometimes, just sometimes, these kind of posts can let people know that you’re still alive.
