How often do you blog?
This is a question most bloggers wonder–especially when they are first getting started. While there are plenty of ideas on exactly how often you should blog, we wanted to know how often you actually are blogging.
As we close in on 100 bloggers having completed the 2008 Indiana Blogger Census, I thought it would be a good time to share a little bit of the data we’re collecting. As you can see from the pie chart, Hoosier bloggers are blogging much more than I had anticipated.
With 35% claiming to blog every day, that’s a lot of fresh content. And perhaps even more impressive–more than half of Indiana bloggers are posting new content on at least a weekly basis. We could probably put together some kind of statistic at the end of the census proclaiming that every XX seconds, a blog in Indiana is updated.
If you are interested in learning more about the results of the census, we’ll be releasing a more comprehensive report at the Blog Indiana conference.
We’d also like to thank FormSpring for creating such an amazingly easy to use web form builder that powers our census.

Sorry for the re-post Noah. I didn’t realize your blog’s post linked to here.
Shouldn’t that be “How often do attendees of BlogIndiana blog?” I would say that this poll is skewed toward those who are active enough to vote. That’s going to be any self-evaluating poll though.

I agree that the poll will probably always be somewhat skewed towards the audience we can reach. However, while Blog Indiana is conducting the census, there isn’t a direct relationship between conference attendees and those that fill out the census (there are bloggers that took the census but haven’t signed up for the conference).
Plus, we’ll be running the census all year and we hope to poll as many Indiana bloggers as possible before and after the conference.
