My blog is for people to learn. I don’t claim to be an expert. If anything, I hope to start an idea and then facilitate learning. With 5 posts a week, I can’t imagine people wanting to comment on every post. But with 2-3 I think I’d get a better response, and I can promote those pieces more.

I do love your commitment and I know how much time it takes!

Consistency is key. And judging by your post quality, I definitely see where you’re coming from on that one.

Thanks for the comments! Hopefully I’ll be able to keep thinking about what I’m doing, though I have to admit that perhaps that should be done a bit more…

So I’m actually working on the blog 4 days a week, and am pretty happy having a real life the other days. My posting schedule is something substantial every Tuesday and Friday, with occasional shorter extras sprinkled in between. I figure being consistent goes a long way with readers. As long as they believe that I’m going to keep the good stuff coming, they’ll keep coming back, even if it’s not every day.

And don’t forget to count the time you spend networking, which I consider part of the blogger’s job- reading other blogs, commenting, connecting on twitter/brazen, etc.

Btw, I have neglected until now to tell you I’m proud of your domain move, rethinking your blog, alienating people, etc! You seem to actually be thinking about what you’re doing. I feel this is a good skill to have in life. Keep it up!

I’ve actually got the opposite philosophy: most of my readers won’t check by every day, but when they do, I want them to see new content and find other posts through callback links. Then again, I suppose I could also solve this problem by setting up a concrete blog posting schedule.

I definitely am going to give some thought to your approach. Mine is more that I want to hit up a variety of topics, so whatever someone comes to the blog for (pop culture, business world tips, Gen-Y commentary, etc.), they can find some new content and have a good selection to look through. Although at this point, I might have enough of an archive buffer where I could ease off a bit.

I find it hard to post everyday, and I do have tons of time. I also sometimes feel that people don’t want to read a blog from me every single day. The way I look at it is, most of my readers are other bloggers, or folks from twitter. Everyone is busy, and most people already have 15-20 people on their reader.

I know, I’d rather prefer to read 2-4 times from someone a week, but not 5-7 (just my personal preference). It is just way too, time consuming to read every post, from everyone in a week, and I don’t want to miss anything from my favorite writers. I concentrate on writing 3 solid pieces a week, and then display those posts around the web to maximize discussion and comments.

There is no right or wrong way in my opinion, but that is the way I’m going.

Thanks again, and I’m loving the new look!
