Back On The Blog
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.
