I've been updating my blog daily, every day for the last four and a bit years now, I think. Early on I hit upon the secret: don't have any standards. Some days I post horrible puns, other days it's rants about Linux software. Every now and then it's something interesting. I'm in awe of you ability to write something interesting, articulate and RSS-worthy (nearly) every day. I certainly couldn't.
I write 2 times a week, more in the Summer. I don't want to write stuff that's not worth reading. I felt pressured at first to write everyday, but now I don't. I figure that as long as you write some interesting material a few times a week, you will keep the readers.
I stopped mostly because it was stressing me out, but I will try to blog more regularly now.
I did it daily for quite some time before I stopped. I have no doubt I could continue to do it daily if I choose, but I don't want to make it a source of annoyance. Blogging should be fun.
Do what you feel comfortable with. I'd thought I'd let you know that I really enjoy reading your blog. You always seem to find the neatest of links. And it's cool hearing about life in your neck of the woods.
Feel free to link to or comment on anything you find, and you may quote or even reproduce entries on-line as long as you include credit and a linkback to this blog.

etfb is right; just gotta lower your standards, like I have (every day for 5 years and 9 months).

Yes. I kind of miss it, I used to come and check what you had to say every day.

As I recall you updated daily for several years. It was inspiring.
