What is blog constipation?
Constipation occurs when blog posts become difficult or less frequent.
The normal length of time between blog posts ranges widely from blogger to blogger.
Some people have blog posts three times a day! Others, only one or two times a week. Going longer than three days without a blog post is too long. After three days, the posts become harder to write and more difficult to post.
What causes blog constipation?
Constipation is usually caused by a disorder of blogger or blogger support systems function rather than a structural problem. Common causes of constipation include:
- Inadequate computer support. See broken computer.
- Inadequate camera and or inability to post photos due to broken computer.
- A disruption of regular diet or routine; husband traveling. See husbandless.
- Inadequate activity or exercise or immobility. (My general sloth like existence)
- Eating large amounts of dairy products.
- Stress. (Stress=toddler)
- Resisting the urge to post.
- Overuse of prompts, memes, etc which, over time, can weaken the blog.
- Neurological conditions such as having to deal with my mother for an extended period of time.
- Depression.
- Pregnancy. Which thankfully I don’t currently suffer from.
Despite my unfortunate medical situation I managed to eke out a little nugget for all of you to enjoy. You may remember my inspired Halloween costume last year? Here it is again for you…
Well this year I didn’t want to leave you out in the cold and I came up with lots of other fun Halloween costume ideas. Go here to read.
Thank you for bearing with me, no pun intended, while I work out my blog’s technical difficulties.
That costume? Is awesome.
I can’t imagine how people write more than one blog post a day. I try to stay steady at a minimum of 3 per week, but even that gets difficult.
Three per week is my goal, but I might need more fiber…
Damn woman, would you look at those legs! Wish I had me a pair of those. Looking forward to your regularly scheduled posts. They are always clever and true.

THAT picture is too much
Stress = toddler. love it.
And that costume is totally boss. At least you have your coffee!
Hope you become more regular soon… he he.
Maybe you just need more fiber.
Ha!
Loved your post about the costumes.
You are awesome.
You and I have the same, er, problem. I think I only posted twice last month.
Anyway, I’ve heard bloggy prune juice is the magic cure-all for that. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I think that tang a little blog break every once in a while is good for you. Enjoy your time away.
Blog breaks every now and again are not bad. We all get a little backed up now and then and a little rest is always for the good. LOVED your costume and loved the ones over at Parent’s connect. I would for sure be the prisoner, that is how I feel lately.
I haven’t posted since last week. And although I want to…I got nothing. There are likely more drafts than published posts by now. I keep opening it and looking at the blank page, then going to get more tequila. I guess it’ll come to me eventually. I want to be more concerned. And I am, but then, well…tequila.
LOVE the door decoration!
Excuses, excuses. Just take some ex-lax and it will all come out.
Posting more than once a day is like bloggy diarrhea! A little irregularity on occasion is normal. The advice above to up your fiber intake should relieve the problem.
I think I’ve had this for about two years. The first year was golden. It also helped that I was working during that first year – an actual “lunch” break every day really helps.
Love your Halloween costume!
My husband WISHES I had a bathrobe like that.
And I want polka-dot socks.
Meanwhile, all we have is a battered copy of Goodnight Moon.
Crap.
(No pun intended.)
Mine is too, babe…maybe for different reasons, but still.
I totally get that.
And your Halloween costume still makes me laugh! Good luck with the constipation…sending hugs and stool softeners.
I love this picture of you! Maybe I will copy you for my Halloween outfit this year. Wait a minute it is 10:30 and I am still in my bathroom. I guess it is more of a uniform than a costume at this point?
Love you girl…we’ll be right here.
How awesome that you are over at Parents Connect! Love it!
Totally laughing at the post but sorry about the blockage. Great that you have a post there – off to read!
I only post once a week, occasionally twice if the mood hits me. I refuse to allow someone to dictate how often I should post. I mean, I do have a life outside of blogland. Those who post daily? I quit following becasue it gets overwhelming trying to keep up. And trust me, most of them do NOT have someething interesting to say EVERY day. It’s like Postal Diarrhea.
