Plus, the guest blogs you solicit (I know I sent one - maybe it wasn't a good fit) sound really interesting and I would like to read them -- regarding names, working mom schedules, diaper bags and whatnot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update/page/2#post-49704 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:22:39 +0000 mrsnarbonne 49704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer 2-3, no more than 5 because I just don't have the time I used to have to go online and read blogs! ;) I also like the quality and variety; I supposed if in the future there are more bloggers then you could divide it up into 3 tracks (TTC, pg, with tots), with 2-3 posts per track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update/page/2#post-49648 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:04:53 +0000 googly-eyes 49648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be ok with one or two entries per day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update/page/2#post-49631 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:30:09 +0000 CameronsMomma 49631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 7-10 times a day is a good amount, but I realise right now there probably aren't enough Bees to be updating that much. I think 3-6 months is also a good time frame from TTC bees, or like someone had said just a certain procedure, or strugle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update/page/2#post-49519 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:06:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 49519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: that was part of the original plan -- to blog about clomid or ivf, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update/page/2#post-49511 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:48:41 +0000 mrbee 49511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Minor problem...

Or could you just leave it open-ended for them to decide? Like maybe tell them "We'd really like it for you to blog regularly for at least three months, and then after that, you can decide if you want to continue blogging or not and for how long."</p> <p>I think for those new to TTC, they'll have plenty to say, even if they don't get pregnant in those first few months. It'll all be new and exciting. They can talk about their original doctors appointments, taking prenatals, whether they are charting or not, etc. Even if it doesn't result in a pregnancy, I'm sure they'll still have interesting things to talk about.</p> <p>For those that are further along in their TTC journey, they could always write a few posts about their beginnings and then talk about where they are not in terms of different treatments they might be trying, or avenues they're exploring, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39659 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:16:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 39659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I've found in the past that about 6 months is a good tenure for a blogger. After that they kind of naturally update less. And bees can always pop in to provide updates -- we wouldn't kick them off the site after a specific amount of time.</p> <p>3 months was a figure I came up with only for TTC bees. What if it took them years to conceive? Would they have enough to share with readers for that long? I haven't 100% figured out the logistics yet. With pregnant bloggers they can write til they give birth. With mom bloggers they can write until a certain age. But with ttc bloggers, it's more open ended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39638 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:46:57 +0000 Adira 39638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Are you planning on having ALL the bees only blog for 3 months or so? Or was that time frame something specific to TTC Bees? I know that you want to be able to incorporate new bees as time goes on without the updates getting overwhelming, but I think once we get to know a Bee, we'd probably appreciate them being able to post for as long as they want to, or for at least a certain leg of their journey. Like if it's a Pregnant Bee, let them post until they give birth. If it's a Mommy Bee, let them post until their children is a certain age. And if it's a TTC Bee, let them post until they get pregnant. Or until they decide to stop on their own, regardless of how long? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39613 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:41:29 +0000 mediagirl 39613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on how many bloggers you have. Right now the site is new and there are just a few bloggers. That can make it difficult to post a lot of blog posts a day. I think once the blogger count goes up, the amount of posts per day could go up a bit, as well. 8 posts a day sounds like a good number to me once there is a larger pool of blog posts to choose from. At this point I could see it being difficult to do as many as 5 a day without blogger burnout! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39544 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:26:05 +0000 mrbee 39544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: The last three weeks, three days had 5 posts, two days had 4 posts, and both weekend days had 0 posts!</p> <p>This week so far, there' s been two 5 posts days and one 4 post day (today)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39542 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:19:42 +0000 Meridian 39542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 - 5 is a good number in my opinion. Actually, it seems like it has been a lot lately and I can't keep up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39465 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:01:45 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 39465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I know a few women who have been TTC for a while and could write posts about what happened in the past and issues they've struggled with and how they've dealt with them. Then, once they catch up with the present day, they could blog from there on. If they do conceive, yay! If not, they could write about if they decided to take a break, stop all together, use a surrogate, adopt, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39428 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:15:22 +0000 theotherstark 39428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think somewhere from 5-7 times a day is great. I have really enjoyed that I can actually keep up with all of the blog posts in a day! So if it is easiest for you guys, the 5x is fine with me! </p> <p>I have also really appreciated the quality of blogs coming through. I agree it would be nice to have a TTC Bee, but I can see how that would be difficult. Perhaps you could have the TTC Bee blog for ~4 months or so, and then another could start? I don't know. I guess it depends on whether they get pregnant in that time or not; I would definitely want to follow them as a preggo Bee! BUT, I could also see how it would be kind of a slap in the face for a TTC Bee to be told, "okay, it's been 4 months, sorry, you need to stop," particularly when the TTC journey can be so difficult for many.</p> <p>That's a toughie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39384 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:51:35 +0000 Mrs.VW 39384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 6-7 a day would be great! And I agree that a TTC blogger would be so fun, it would be great if in the future you could get a couple that would let you know a time frame they'll be starting TTC and then they could start blogging then. Since, like you said it could happen in just one month (those lucky ladies!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39354 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:11:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 39354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>adding ttc bloggers has been a bit of a challenge because there is no telling how long it might take someone to conceive. our initial plan was to have them blog for 3 months, or have someone blog about a specific fertility treatment like going through clomid or ivf. what do you guys think?</p> <p>as far as more updates, i always thought we'd keep the number below 8/day. i find it hard to keep up with sites that update more often than that. sometimes even 8 seems like too much and i click "mark all as read." we'll see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39351 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:05:51 +0000 kayakgirl73 39351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TTC BEE please soon. I thought there were only about three updates a day. I think eventually 8 to 10 would be a good number especially if they were divided between Pregnancy, TTC, and Mommies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39268 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:33:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 39268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! 5x times is enough. If not we can't keep up. I definitely don't want it to become a weddingbee. I stopped reading because I felt bad I couldn't keep up.</p> <p>Looking forward to new bees though. And a TTCing bee would be great for the TTCing ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39267 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:31:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 39267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tana_bk: I agree! We need a TTC Bee!</p> <p>I like the frequency of posts. Five-ish is good. Otherwise I get overwhelmed if I miss a day or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39257 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:26:08 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 39257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd like to see a max of 8-10 or so. A bit more, but as others say, not so much that I can't catch up on the fellow bees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39252 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:21:51 +0000 Modern Daisy 39252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What I like about the blog posts as they stand is the quality, like Mr. Bee mentioned. I've already read about 15 that I need to go back and add to my favorites so I can read them again when the time comes. They are all so well written and informative and a lot of the time topics that people either don't talk about or sugarcoat.</p> <p>I would say if you're going to post more often, only post a few more per day. I definitely prefer quality over quantity and I think the site has achieved that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-times-a-day-should-the-blog-update#post-39236 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:08:23 +0000 katdevargas 39236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @venice4504 - please don't up it to the volume that wb has. that's way overwhelming &amp; I really like the fact that I can read each post &amp; not feel like I have to scan b/c there's so much </p>
