That's a good idea, taking weekends off. That gives you some time to get away from the blog. Jay wrote:

I've been keeping posting frequency of 1 post a day (except Sat/Sun) for the last 4 months and lately had felt jaded. One of the counter-measure I took was to get away from my laptop, simply just get away! Forget about writing, tweaking, commenting, networking etc. Blogging is a long term endevour, We gotta pace ourselves to avoid blogging burn out! First part of your above post sounds familiar to me.

I actually did my first cliff hanger in my most recent post, the one about the July contest results. It's a fun way to tie posts together. Great tip!

I did a post about this 2 weeks ago. Basically you put 1 or 2 sentences at the end of your blog post that will make your readers want to come back tomorrow to find out more.

It is a tedious job, so I like to do it just before bedtime. When I saw that it was 11:15, I remembered the contest deadline, and joyfully played with comments and read your blog, rather than the repetitive picture editing. Commenting was a nice diversion from all that. The contest made it more justifiable that plain vanilla procrastination. I was up, editing and resizing pictures for a tutorial on my blog.

It's too much of a habit, after this month. I can quit any time I want to. I just don't want to.... Thanks for running the contest. Good luck to all. I hope you get to sleep soon, too, Jay! LOL!

The really time consuming part of it all, is trying to keep up with the feed reader! I try to read the blogs of my most frequent visitors/commenter.
