Blogging Hiatus - How Come?

Year 2011 was a prolific year for Teecup Limited. After 140 posts, great friends, a nice page rank boost and steady payments from the blog advertising network, who wouldn't be in a roll?

This year, the blog didn't exactly begin with a bang. However, Teecup intends to get back in the game -- but not without touching a bit on blogging hiatuses.

A hiatus is synonymous to a break or an interruption. Sometimes, long hiatuses can lead to the death of a blog site. Sometimes, they are so short that you won't even notice a blogger's absence.

Call them excuses, alibis or justifications if you like. There are plenty of reasons that bloggers go on a hiatus.

The whys range from the most mundane such as forgetting passwords and finding yourself too sleepy to write because of medications to the most serious such spending time in the hospital and surviving a tragedy.

Blogging in Absentia

Dear Readers,

Since the 4th of the month, I have not responded to your comments or followed you back to your sites. That's because I've been away the whole week. I was merely blogging in absentia. What I mean is that scheduled posts in my blog buffer have been doing the work for me and feigning my online presence. 

This note is a scheduled post as well. I am probably thousands of feet above the ground as you read this entry. You will hear from me in a day or two - once my family and I get back from vacation. In the mean time, enjoy the Adgitize selections that I saved up for you, will you? You can read more about the community from Google. 

Yours,

Teecup*
