Comments: When Do You Read?
I like to read my RSS feeds between 3 and 9pm EDT.

I usually read via Google Reader in early morning and again in late afternoon.

Between 9 am and 3 pm pac time every other day or so.

Hey Philip...
I read you within an hour of waking up most days, unless I'm writing then it might be 2 or 3 hours...
In any case that means sometime between 5 am and 8 am your time.
Then if I'm home I tend to check throughout the day for updates.
As far as I'm concerned you can post anytime you want. I'll catch it...I've got live feeds that are painless to check.

I'm an international reader, so our time zones will always be out of sync. But that's one of the great things about spaces like this - it's accessible round the clock. So, whenever you get to posting is fine by me. If you need to moderate comments, though, I guess you want to have the bulk of them come in at reasonable hours for you.

6 am - 20 pm - your time
Several times a day.
OCD?
:o)
:)
Congratulations!

I usually check it out first thing in the morning with my coffee and that's usually when I write my comments too but I'm back during the day too and I agree with Gianna -- you should do what works best for you and if you only approve comments once or twice a day that's fine too. While I certainly hope the blog continues to grow and becomes even better known, I also hope you get some other things going too that you find rewarding so don't be bashful about cutting back here at the blog. We will all survive, get acclimated to it, and still keep coming back too. I've seen a few new names in the comment section so I think you're still getting new regulars.

I check my feed in the morning, as well as at night, since I don't subscribe to an unreasonable amount of sites. I sometimes read your post in my feed, and sometime I click over to the site, especially for the discussion in comments.
Thanks for all the work you do.

Crikey that's a lot of comments.
I read whenever the baby let's me! LOL

I too usually check the site with my coffee, between 5-6 am EST during the week.

EDT: During the week, after five; during the weekend, whenever I feel like sitting down at the computer.

interesting question to return to. I usually catch your site twice a day, in the later AM around 11-12N and again around 9-11PM (East times). Take some time off, though. Replenish the soul, thats what I did.

Because of my OCD, my time for using the computer is limited, but lately, it's anytime between midnight and noon, EST.

Mostly early morning GMT and later for posts due to the time zone difference. Disparate times for references and links.
Keep up the good work.

Probably 10am Seattle time I would say.
10 thousand is like a stadium, great.

I usually read you first thing in the morning. Which would be 5 a.m. PST time. Then I check to see the comments in the afternoon, but whatever you do we can make adjustments.

Hi Philip,
I'm in NJ and read daily during work hours for the most part. Thank you for all you do.
Cheers,
Brian

Doesn't matter to me. I catch you whenever I can, don't mind getting caught up. I'm more concerned you do what works nicely for you. Why? Because I'm totally self serving and I know you'll continue doing the blog longer if it works for YOU.
Thanks for doing it at all. I don't expect hot and cold running Philip. Really. Enjoy those Seattle summer evenings.
