How Often Should New Posts Appear?

I always wonder whether I blog too much or too little. Would my readers like to see me post more often? Or less? Or at the same rate as I do now?

So I decided to stop wondering and ask you. What do you think?


Should posts appear. . .

There is something wrong with the link, it seems. I keep trying to vote but there is no connection with the server.

You should blog more!!!!!

Post as much or as little as you like. You should not feel obligated to post more or less often. Forcing yourself either way will effect the quality of the posts.

I voted for the third option, but imo optimally one should post every time one has a desire for it and has something interesting to say. It's a pity to lose a wonderful post because of misguided thinking "I posted too much today". Sometimes, in the grip of the moment the words flow like they won't afterwards.

100% agree with BenYitzhak.

Some of my favourite bloggers regularly (each several months) take breaks for 2-3 weeks, others have periods of posting very often and periods of nothing at all. It's very private, individual matter. Book writers don't write the same way, at some "standard" velocity either.

Thank you, everybody!

I was always afraid people feel I post too much, so it's nice to know that most people are happy with things the way they are.

I also think you should post whenever you have something you want to post about.

Since you're not being paid to blog, you shouldn't feel you have any obligation to provide x amount of content. The reason people blog for no money is that they like to, so it seems like it would be counterproductive to try and write more if your heart's not in it.
