How do you blog?

A nurse writing a paper for school focusing on the value of blogs for advanced practice nurses asked me the questions listed below. It would be great if you can post your own answers in the comment section below.

The blog posts and news items from the RSS feeds are about 2,000-3,000 per day = 20,000 per week.

The big five among the general medical journals (NEJM, JAMA, Lancet, BMJ, Annals of Int Medicine) plus 10 allergy journals, plus Medscape, Reuters Health and WebMD.

How many new topics do you personally post under each sub heading, i.e. Endocrine, Cardiac, etc each week?

    Trying to collate systematic review of subjects within emergency medicine in the background, whilst writing general medical and case based reviews as they arise. Structure slowly padding out in the backend and being populated by 10 posts per week.

    Initially, medical blogging can look like a simple task but many new bloggers soon find it very time-consuming and give up.
