I wonder how many people notice the times I post on this blog. Often there are only two posts on this blog at any given time and often posted at 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM usually Monday through Saturday. Whenever I blog often though not always I take Sunday's off.
I looked through this blog's archives and saw often the posts were published at random times. It's how I've often started off blogging just whenever I felt like posting I just did. On some of my other blogs especially The Sixth Ward I try to time my posts usually starting at 8:30 AM and then when possible if there are other posts two and a half hours after that.
Of course you can ask the question why post here at 9 AM to 2:30 PM? Well when I went to school at Shedd school started at 9 AM and I got out of class at 2:30 PM. That's the justification no real reason for why choose to post, this blog is named for my former school so I could have posts when possible during those times.
However, if I post at 2:30 usually though not always it's for a current news item. Sometimes it might be something that is very informative, often something of a historical nature. It could be an update like this also though perhaps 2:30 should be the time to pay attention.
What about 9:00 AM? Well it might be something informative that isn't a priority. It could be a news item that I might not have been able to post about in a timely fashion (which is more common in fact). So often I suppose 9 AM isn't necessarily the time you would expect to see what exactly is current and often infrequent.
Another thing to consider is there are a number of blogs that often posts around the same time. For example a blog I don't read often enough unfortunately but is a good read is Chicago Argus authored by Gregory Tejada. Often when you read that blog the posts are posted at midnight. Usually what Tejada does is talk about the news of the day or what ever interest him at the moment.
Either way I write all this to still come up with a cogent strategy that helps with my blogging. Predictability can sometimes be a good thing, however, the main thing with not just blogging but any usage of social media is that what you share has to be interesting enough for an audience.
