Acceptable frequency of blog posts?

It's interesting that as soon as my day job gets busy the first thing to suffer is this blog.

There's a lesson there for all of you potential bloggers out there, and one I've evidently yet to learn myself.

Blogging must be regular - even if it's short - otherwise readers will look elsewhere, as I've done myself many times. It's the regularity of the posting that makes it up to date, relevant and interesting. A post that's more than a few weeks old smacks of half heartedness. It says to the reader: "Don't bother checking this blog again as this could have been my last post". We've enough to do every day without clicking through to an empty blog to check for a post. And those 10 seconds wasted out of anyone's day is an insult, if you ask me.

So, please accept my apologies for having having been such a lame poster in the last few weeks.

What do you all think - what's the minimum acceptable frquency of blog posts?

• Hourly
• Daily
• Twice a week
• Weekly
• Twice monthly
• Monthly

I know there are ways to get alerted for a new blog post but not everyone uses these, so let me have your thoughts.

Personally, I think two weeks is about the longest I'd be happy to leave a blog empty for. Ideally I'd like to post twice a week.So, I'm not happy with my recent lack of posts. In future, I'm going to try to stick with this limit, and if I can't do that, I'll stop blogging.

How's that for a promise!
