Back On The Blog

Posted on June 13th, 2007 in Uncategorized by Scott

After having a nice vacation, I am settling back into my normal routine.   So expect prompt replies to comments, prompter replies to e-mail, and a post count which will pick up again in numbers on Friday.

Thanks to everyone who continued reading my blog while I was away.

A question for you, if you were reading through my normal 4-5 posts a day vs. the 1 post a day while I was on vacation which do you prefer?   Can 4-5 posts per day get to be too many?  Do they clog your feed and prompt you to delete without reading?

Do you enjoy the 4-5 posts of varying length and depth per day, or would 1-2 longer more in depth articles interest you more?

 Thanks for any feedback

    I have to say I prefer the smaller number of posts, and they don’t necessarily have to be longer.

    I have a lot to read in my Feed Reader, and 5 in-depth text posts a day on one blog, can be a bit overwhelming, especially if I miss a day.

    I think you’ve achieved your aim of building up a big archive, and can lower the daily count a little to no ill-effect.

    I think that might be a good idea. I have actually noticed on some of my feeds that if I miss a couple of days and have 20 or more unread posts that I often delete them without reading.

    I think that I may benefit from some more time spent promoting and see where it takes me

    If nothing else, it will be a good experiment and I’ll see what works

    I agree that a smaller number of posts are better. Maybe two small ones or even one long one is good. I have so many blogs that I try to get through everyday, that it’s tough with so much material.

    Good work though.

    Smaller number is easier to write too :)

    Welcome back and congratulations on your great ProBlogger guest post. :)

    I agree with Chris. One post a day is easier to digest, but on the other hand you were building up a solid base of ‘how-to’ archives.
