Hazards of Corp

This week at ProBlogger, we're diving deep into a topic close to every
blogger's heart: how to keep the momentum going, no matter what life
throws your way. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned pro,
maintaining your blog's momentum is key to its success.

Life's big events—be it a joyous occasion like a wedding or the arrival of a
new family member, or the exciting transition of taking a holiday or starting
a new job—can throw a wrench in your blogging routine. The key here is
anticipation and planning. Ask yourself: What big events do I have on the
horizon? How can they impact my blogging schedule, and what steps can I
take now to prepare?

With some forward thinking the impact of such events can be minimised
(and even alleviated). Options for handling these planned interruptions
range widely.

Then there are those life events we can't plan for—illness, loss,
emergencies. While we can't predict these, we can think ahead about how
we'd handle our blogging commitments during such times. Who could you
call on to help keep your blog running? Do you have a contingency plan,
like a set of evergreen posts ready to publish, or a way to let your readers
know you're taking a break?

I don't have specific contingency plans for my blogs for these events but
have given it some thought. I do know that on my main blogs there are
other bloggers that I could approach to take on some of the load
(voluntarily or paid) in an emergency. I also have a couple of people who
have administrative rights to my blogs in case of an emergency (sort of like
giving a friend a key to your house in case you lock yourself out).
