Blogsitting is hard!

When Kris asked me to blogsit (is this the right term?), I immediately said yes. First of all because I wanted to help but also because I didn’t think it would be that much more difficult than just handling my own blog Brandopia and posting irregularly on our Windows Live Team Blog.

Boy, was I wrong! The hardest part is actually thinking about how and what you are going to write which might be relevant for a blog that is not yours. After just reading “Naked conversations” , which was recommended by Kris and indeed it’s a great book, one topic seemed contradictory to blogsitting. You have to make your blog personal and on the other hand you have to post regularly. Of course workaholics don’t have this problem but people like me need to recharge their batteries ones and a while, not only from work but also from blogging.

So what is best? Blogsitting or not posting for 2 weeks when you’re on holidays?
