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 have once or twice...my biggest problem is feeling guilty about not being able to post daily.

    I read, and re-read my blog before posting. And I give it a once over after posting also.

    I just blog whatever comes to mind. But I usually don't blog on weekends.

    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!!

    90% of my posts happen this way. I have a thought, I write it down, I post it without re-reading. I can't think of a time when I've regretted it, though.

    I am an impulse blogger - and proud of it.

    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.

    also an impulse blogger. i started year 2000 even when there's really nothing much to blog about! what i do now when i feel the impulse to blog is to make a "top 5 list" of anything not really sure if my readers or friends appreciate that, but its how i "cope up"

    blog... it is like life... it is in evolution already. sometimes i erase a part or other, sometimes i adjust something, or add other...

    blog is just a organ pipe : with wind, it sings and without it sleeps.

    I have a.d.d. so, yea. Except the regret part. If it meant enough to me to blog about at the time, then I did it and that's it.

    I'm an impulse blogger too, don't always post everyday, but i try to.

    I don't think I'm an impulsive blogger, really. But that probably speaks more about my personality. Except when it comes to shopping...
