Monthly Shivaratri

[Sahasranama]

Mahashivaratri is once a year, Maasa Shivaratri once a month, Paksha Shivaratri once every fornight and Nitya Shivaratri every night. Maha Shiva Ratri is an important Hindu holiday, I am curious though, are there any Shaivas on board who observe monthly Shivaratri?

I don't but I try to go to Lord Shiva's temple almost every Monday unless I get late at work :D

It seems that somvara and pradosha are very populair. Pradosha is on trayodashi and Shivaratri is on chaturdashi, some say on trayodashi. I am curious, do people observe both after each other? Or are paksha shivaratri and pradosha the same holiday?

I wonder if anyone follows all these in this fast paced world.. but I'm sure there will be few pious ppl who would follow for their devotion toward Lord Shiva.
