Glad you passed :) Yes, blogging is very, very time consuming, if....you want to do it right. I don't even clock my hours anymore, as it's like having a second full time job (even though blogging is technically classified as a "hobby"). #9 - regular posting is very important, especially if you want your blog to be "crawled". But, don't beat your self up, if life take you away from your blog for a short period of time. One great thing about WordPress is the ability to post date your posts (see my post on that: http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/how-to-post-date-your-posts-wordpress/). If you have several posts pre-written, post dating them would work out great if you know you're going to be away from your computer. P.S. Enjoy those lattes. I know they inspire you. :) Asako,

I asked all the questions to myself... I think for most questions, I pass (phew!). The biggest challenge is the time #9. This week, I got a sudden business trip so my blogging rhythm got distracted for a few days (and now I am back in cafe trying to catch up!). When you read Problogger, you feel overwhelmed, with how much time you may need to spend a day.... 60 minutes writing an article. 60 minutes visiting other blogs and commenting. 60 minutes improving features on your blog. 30 minutes analyzing the statistics and tweaking SEO. 30 minutes trying to work on ads on your sites....
