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.
Yeah. I remember.

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

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

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