Many of you may be familiar with the DIY Bride website and blog. DIY Bride is a free community for do-it-yourself wedding projects, resources, and advice to help couples on any budget create a crafty, one-of-a-kind wedding. Khris Cochran has been working diligently on this website and blog for many years.

I loved Krhis’s post on blogging and the work involved in an efficient blog that impacts an audience. Here’s a small bit of her post. You will definitely want to read the post in it’s entirety here. If you haven’t ventured into the blogging world yet but are considering doing so, this post is a definite must read.

There seems to be a misconception about what I – and other bloggers – do to keep our sites going.

All day long, every day, Monday through Sunday (no days off):
1. Deleting spam comments
2. Responding to comments
3. Writing to people who comment
4. Responding to reader emails
5. Deleting bogus forum registrations (30+ a day)
6. Responding to forum topics
7. Moderating the forums, deleting spam.

Daily:
1. Writing entries and sometimes even posting them. (This cracked me up! I’m entirely guilty of this.)
2. Reading what other bloggers write on my topics of interest.

The list continues and she lists the weekly items, the monthly items to be accomplished as well as those occasional items she does to keep her blog going. It is a ton of work! I definitely recognize the complexity of work involved in keeping up an productive, useful blog while I am trying to keep up the Dallas Wedding Planner blog.

Kudos to Khris Cochran with DIY Bride for all of your hard work. Thank you for your diligence.
