Usually I re-read my blog posts at least three times before posting. but sometimes i am guilty of being an impulse blogger. I feel passionate about sometime, I whack up a quick post and when i read it the next day i regret posting it. Like Impulse buying.
Dose anyone else do this?

I used to be. Here's how I fixed this problem: I set myself to post a set number of times per day. Then, I starting building a pool of posts beyond that quota, set to publish at a later date. That way, when I write something particularly passioned, it doesn't actually show up on my blog for several days, giving me time to go back and revise it before it goes live.

Yes! Guilty here.
I always worry that my posts will be taken the wrong way by people who are new to my blog and have no idea that it is (mostly) satire and sarcastic social commentary on political correctness.
I have revised posts after going back over them because contrary to my namesake and pseudo-persona, I worry sometimes that mine are too offensive!! -
Mostly, I'm an impulse poster. I open TextEdit, write what I have to write, then copy it into WordPress and hit the Publish button. I typically don't regret this. If I notice a spelling or punctuation error, I'll correct it on the fly, even after I originally posted.
There have been a couple of times I wish I hadn't posted something, but there's always the "delete" button. I'm trying to get better about editing, because I think that's important, but I feel my best posts are usually ones written right from the heart, on impulse.
