I agree! I think it’s useful to dig into why you maintain a blog, though.
If you want to be a blogger who people recognise as a blogger, then having a track record of regular content production is probably worthwhile.
For me, if someone looked at my blog and said “you clearly lack the drive to keep this updated regularly” I think I’d just say “yes.”
Plenty of people maintain a blog because they want to get more experience in technical writing, and to them I’d suggest that writing regularly doesn’t necessarily mean you should publish regularly. Or that you could maintain a separate “best of” feed on your site if you want to keep your reputation as a prolific writer while still putting your best work front and centre.
Thanks for the post!
