I’m a big fan of the emerging theory that frequency doesn’t matter … I for one don’t stop reading a blog that posts less frequently, and WebUrbanist only has a few posts a week but quite a following despite that. I used to stress out about it until I read this gem of an article arguing against the need to post at a fixed rate of at least one a day: http://www.mpdailyfix.com/2006/06/w_why_blog_post_frequency_does.html

Anyway, it helped me relax

Thanks – it’s good to know there are still some regular readers out there among the spammers. Mike – the twitter thing seems to work pretty well.

I feel ya and can relate. I’ve got a lot of extra-internet stuff going on right now and despite the desire to keep it up, I’ve definitely been lacking the time and fortitude to write much recently. I’ve got multiple half-finished story ideas that I just can’t seem to bring myself to wrap up. Here’s hoping it picks up soon.

Also, I enjoy your common sense approach to tech happenings. It’s very down-to-earth and that’s hard to come by in a very RDF-influenced field.

I’ve always looked forward to your posts Jason regardless of the quantity as the quality is what lives on past a meme’s expiry date

Myself I have always tried to have at least 3 posts a day – only because as a cranky old fart I have the time – but even that is hard to maintain sometimes given the repetitiveness of the daily news. This is one reason why I branched out to start including software reviews and lucky enough that one of the WinExtra forums members was willing to help out.

You just kept to a posting schedule that you are comfortable with and we’ll keep on reading

Nah, no worries. It’s odd, but I’m actually reading your articles more thoroughly now. I’ve noticed other bloggers slowing down, too…guess it’s the season for this sort of thing.

I actually stopped, myself. Took down my site until I can find something else to put there (been considering a lifestream – hmm).
