The topic of blogging frequency came up in a mailing-list that I am a part of and it got me to thinking. Which is more important: posting to your blog everyday or posting when you have something new to say?

I know for one, I am guilty of feeling I have to blog each and every day. Often it leads to re-purposing a bit of news that I come across somewhere else on the Interweb. I know what causes that. It’s the fact that I’m quite ready to share what I do in my daily life with everyone who could potentially find the blog. Not that I have anything to hide, but I feel that most people aren’t going to want to read about some of the things I do each day.

On the other hand, I realize 100% that for readers to come to your blog, you need fresh content. Readers need to feel that your site is worth visiting each day if your looking to build readership. It boils down to finding the intention of your blog and finding a method to reach that target audience.

So all you readers out there, what’s your take on the situation? Do you prefer sites that post everyday (even if the content is sometimes lame) or do you prefer to only get content when the content is fresh and meaningful? Chime in now.
