I've noticed something about my blog stats. They start sinking when the mercury in the thermometer starts to rise. Is it too hot to blog, or do you think that people are finding other things to do during the summer season? I blog all year long… not that I’m hooked. I can quit anytime. Really. Just sayin’

come to think of it, i did slow down over summer (our summer) but I think that was more to due with working and spending more time outdoors and study. Now that it is only study I'm on more, but we will see in a couple of weeks when I start to work again.

At last some good weather has arrived in the UK, but as to what my excuse for blogging much less than usual is - I can't really be sure!

My crochet blogging has fallen way off. I'm in south Texas, I don't have air conditioning, so sitting with a lapful of yarn is never high on my list of priorities. I try to update my other blog on at least a weekly basis, however. (I don't feel the need to provide pictures in it!)

Every year we see a decline in business in the summer months. We can only conclude that since kids are off of school, summer is the time many nurses tend to take vacations. Or at the very least, they don't want to sit in a conference room!

It affects even those nurses who do NOT have kids, because when some percentage of nurses are on vacation, others must somehow take up the slack, either by working more or being understaffed. Neither of these situations allow nurses the chance to be concerned about CE...

I suspect that your blog stats dropping and our number of attendees dropping in summer are very much related!
