Here I am, sitting in my bed with my laptop. Thought it would be a good thing to write a little post before I call it night. Most probably this will be a more personal post then before, hope you don’t mind. 
When I started this blog, my goal was to keep it updated regularly, and post at least once a day. For about one month that worked out just fine, and I had more then enough time to write, and the ideas of topics kept coming.
If you have been with me from the start in January you might have noticed that I haven’t updated this blog so regularly the last week or two. Thing is, it takes time to make good content. A lot of time. And then I have to answer on emails, and try to market this site. It all takes time, and sadly it’s only 24 hours in a day.
Latly I have started up a couple of big new websites that needs my attention, and then this blog don’t get what it deserves. Anyway, I have tried to keep it updateded, but not as much as I would like. I just got to many things in the air at the same time atm. I need to take a couple of them down. (Just for the info, this blog is not one of them!)
Not only have I quit postpone my school, I have also got a day job, so then I have to focus and use time on that as well. I guess.
So, what happens to this blog then? Well. It will not be updated daily. Most probably I will try to post a couple times a week. I have also been thinking on video blogging. It would take a lot less work, and might be a good step to take this blog “to the next level”. Not sure about it yet though, just an idea I got.
How the blog goes
So, how does this blog go actually? It’s sunday, and I got some numbers for you.
(Last time in parentheses)
Alexa: 142,058 (215,825)
Technorati: 80,591 (126,758)
Authority: 86 (46)
RSS readers: 87 (60)

Alexa is climbing downwards to the 100k mark, but it takes sometime. Finally this blog is among the 100k top blogs according to Technorati. Currently with a rank of 80,591. When it comes to the RSS readers the blog will soon cross the line of 100 people. Right now it stays on 87, which are the top day.
Not looking so badly considering I haven’t been writing so much. The big contest is over, so the rss count might fall a bit the next days. I guess we have to wait and see.
Wellwell. Thats it for today. Now I got to get some sleep. Have a nice day/night, and remember to subscribe to this blog if you aren’t already!

It’s ok if you don’t update daily.Actually, for those of us who read a lot of blogs, it’s best if you don’t write daily, that way it’s less to read per day, and when we do end up reading the content will be that much more interesting.(because you have more time to think it through).

Honestly, if you post good content, updates can be less frequent as long as the content consistency is good.

Great post. Writing great content does take time.

Staale, its not necessary to post very frequently actually.
Thing is that you should be the best when writing something, no matter it may take 3 days to post once.
Here is a write up related to blogging speed. Hope that helps..

Provided the content is good, it doesn’t matter how often you update, I read about 20 blogs regularlly, including this one, and one good post every 3 days is better than a crappy one every day
Just keep up the good work

Good content matters. Not the posting frequency.
