Currently: I'm working for a startup and I get a solid 7 hours of coding per day
Previously: Anywhere from 4-5 hours a day, the other time was spent answering questions and supporting other team members.

Depending on side projects add another 1-3 hours to that.
I wouldn't really put a time frame on it. Just think of a project you want to build and work on it when you get the time. I usually end up spending every waking hour on a project until I get a solid base. After that I try to work on it for an hour or two every night.

If you enjoy coding and are willing to spend hours at a time upgrading and maintaining your own blogging platform go for it. If you want to just post content then go with a blogging platform, but before you settle on one try a few of them out!
