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_po...

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).
