[...] As the LA Times’s Tony Pierce explained, if you blog too infrequently, people will just occasionally check in on your blog to catch up. If you have good daily content, people will come daily. There is a big difference between a user coming daily to your site, instead of weekly or a few times a month. [...]

The amount of blogging advice that Mr. Pierce has made available is a free goldmine with a map to the best spots. Really, I’ve relished his advice over the years, but consistently fail to follow it for no real good reason. Despite a consistent web presence on message boards, days that have consisted literally of nothing but reading and writing for years, keeping my blog updated has been ennui extraordinaire. Currently I run a creative group blog with a fuckton (metric: 62 595.7471kilograms) of talented authors that still fail to update every day. Some weeks slide by without a post.

Maybe I should make an effort to hold Tony to his word and finally reap the benefits? Maybe I too can work for the LA Times (or Hickville equivalent)? Find out next time whenever I update!.
