Daily Blogging

A log of bloggers including myself hold the view that you should not blog (write) daily. The main reason for this is to avoid blogger's block. Now this doesn't mean your blog cannot have new daily content via scheduling, it just means most bloggers should not force themselves to write a daily blog post. Well this is all good in theory however the modern blog evolved from the online diary which was a digital way of keeping a running account of their personal lives much like a pen and paper diary. Justin Hall (blogging 1994, Justin's Links), Jerry Pournells and Dave Winer are credited with being the first bloggers.

Most females are well aware of what a pen and paper diary is. This was a place a young girl could reveal her most private thoughts and secrets safe from the world. Daily entries of just about anything were carefully entered and kept under lock and key from prying eyes. Some diary keepers entered only the important events in their lives so sometimes there may only have been a couple of entries a week. An online diary aka blog should be treated much the same. If you have something you want to share daily then do so. If you don't then share as you feel necessary. Treat your blog like you would a personal diary remembering some things are best left not said.
