Factors corelated with blogging

My blogging patterns are very random (see below). I’ve been blogging since Dec-04 and there have been months when I have posted 20+ entries and there have been several months when I’ve not posted any article at all! I’m not a professional blogger, and I know that a lot of people are not waiting for my update anyway - so probably that is one reason for my random blogging motivation (or lack of it)!

But that’s no big deal. Personal blogging patterns are of no major importance - why the hell analyze it?! But maybe they mean something. Is there any correlation between how much one blogs and their happiness levels? Between blogging and time availability. Between blogging and number of blog views/comments/unique visitors.

Or perhaps, blogging and how much one is spending - too much spending means you’re having lots of fun (mostly) and hence have no time for blogging?! Of course it could be the other way round as well - when you spend more, you are ‘doing’ more things, and hence have more to talk.

Let’s see. Below is a 2-series graph that illustrates my blogging and spend trend over the last 14 months.

See a correlation? Maybe not…

How about now? See the trend lines? While the expense is coming down, the blog entries are increasing.

Logical… Maybe yes, maybe no! More research required
