I guess I've always been trying for the Steven Den Beste model instead of the Glenn Reynolds model. I've always known that I'm too much of a perfectionist and too annoyed by other people talking about things they don't know anything about, that I couldn't post every day. I just figured I'd write the best pieces I could, and eventually people would read them. It's certainly a slower way to go than posting often, but whatever. A lot of my traffic comes from Google, and I figure they're more likely to come back if they found what they were looking for. I also like to think that this helps my PageRank, but I really have no idea. I also figure a good portion of my readers are on my RSS feed (or will be more likely to subscribe if they are impressed with something), and the game of keeping an RSS subscriber is rather different from attracting traffic to the site. Most won't notice if you haven't posted for a while. And as Chris Anderson notes, infrequent but well-researched and well-thought out posts are a great way to keep RSS readers. Much moreso than frequent but less insightful posts. Avoiding the useless time-wasting post becomes more important. I get Kilgore's point about how readers will flock to a frequently updated blog after a big event, but that only goes for popular frequently updated blogs. Won't matter as much for the rest of us. And his overall point was that different blogs fill different niches. You're right about the group blog helping. I've long thought about trying to join one, but I'm just so much of a weirdo that I don't see myself being a good fit for anyone else. That, plus I have a hard enough time posting semi-regularly on just the one blog. But go ahead and take advantage of your group and try not to feel the pressure of posting frequently.
