No Posts during Weekend
Posted by Frugal on December 16th, 2006
To all,
From now on, there won’t be any posts during weekend. Due to the demand on my time for blogging, I have been thinking how I can handle this with my job & my family. The site audience is not really growing much. But I don’t want to close down the site outright either. Inevitably I think I will cut down the number of posts that I’m doing.
Starting now, there won’t be posts during weekend (except My Digg of the Week, whenever I find time to do that). I am also thinking of doing some survey on things people like to read more, to improve the site a bit. I would like your feedbacks on whether you like more content on general stock market, economics, real estate, precious metals, personal finance, or misc. And also whether you prefer interesting news reporting from what I’ve read (news), my personal opinions (commentary), or even more basics on finance/investing (fundamentals). You can send your feedback by email to me, leaving a comment here, or wait for me to construct the survey later.
I wish I am a superman, but I can only sleep less hours for so long. I’m not like the energizer bunny which keeps going and going….
By the way, during weekends, I do advise ALL readers to take a outing, do some (Xmas) shopping, or get together with friends & family. Internet is supposed to change our lives, but we are not computers, nor an extension of computers. Take a break away from everything, especially screens (TV or computer). Relax and have a good time.

Well I hope you don’t stop blogging since I visit your site daily and it is one of the few sites I actually look forward to reading but I understand the time limitations and frustration all too well.

This site is one of about 6 or 7 I check daily at work to get me through the day. I love the investment strategy advice and anecdotes from personal investing experience. Of the list you provided my vote is for more stories about personal finance, economics and real estate. I also enjoy the personal opinions and interesting stories. Hey, isn’t that the point of having a personal blog?
Keep up the good work and interesting writing.

I hear you on this one. My goal was at least post every day, but that was back when I was recovering from a car accident that kept me home from work and propped up in bed with my laptop. As I ease back into “normal” life, your “five posts a week” strategy looks more and more attractive every day.

Don’t sweat it. I think if you post less often you’ll tend to put more work into each post. Plus it’s no fun writing when you don’t want to.
I too rarely post on the weekends now.

I’m relatively new to this site (about 1.5 months) and I read all of the articles you write on the stock market, investing, PM, real estate, and personal finance. Because of you, I am entering PM for the first time. I visited the 2 sites you provided links for and plan on purchasing coins as part of my investment portfolio. I just finished today’s WSJ and I almost always come away from reading that paper feeling a bit deprived. With the housing market approaching disaster and the market’s wild rise, I am setting aside traditional sources of info and am reading more and more of the bloggers views and the associated comments to assist me in making financial moves. Please know this: Your site RAWKS!!!

I’ve always tried leaving the weekends for spending time with friends and my fiance and staying away from the computer. Cutting back a bit might be exactly what you need… but please don’t stop writing, this is one of the first PF sites I read it would be a shame to see it stop.

I would hate to see you shut down. I agree with those above who said that less frequent posting would make sense. Your market and economic analysis is among the best among blogs that I have seen. I would like to see more along those lines.

I hope the site stays up and running, I too enjoy reading it weekly and sometimes daily. I find it difficult to get to the site on certain days so I know you must have difficulty posting daily. Particularly in this busy season. Keep up the great work!

Many thanks to all for your encouragement.
It’s an unbelievable response from all of you. I won’t let you (& this site) down. Finding a proper balance will be the key.
Yeah, I have been a little down emotionally, dealing with matters related to this site. Really appreciate for all of your boost.
Thanks again.
