		<description>Hi Bob, 

Sounds like you're generating the kinds of conversations you're seeking. As for the frequency of blogging, I'd pretty much agree with everyone else. I do think if you don't blog every week you will lose your readership. That said, other things come into play when blogging. Why are you blogging? Are there ways you can mix things up and still meet your demands of time and your readership demands for material? What do you want to accomplish? Those are the questions I run through when thinking about my own blogging. In general I try to blog 3-5 times a week but they are not all essays. Of them, usually two are of the longer, more thoughtful essay-type posts. Others tend to be informational such as reviews of books and tools, pointers to blogs and websites of interest, and a brief commentary to an article or post I've discovered. I like to mix it up some.</description>

		<description>Bob, I read your article in DM News, and had heard so much about blogging I decided to look you up.  I think for a newbie watching you learn and seeing your feedback gives a clearer understanding of the process than looking at some of the other sites you recommended.  There is definitely something here, but like you, I am not exactly sure what yet.</description>

		<description>Aloha Bob,

Blog when the spirit moves you.  Give it a break when it doesn't.  There are no hard and fast rules -- nor should there be.

I have been blogging since 1999.  Sometimes I will take a break for a month or more.  Do I lose readers?  Sure.  Do I care?  Nope.  It's only the tirekickers that do not come back to roost.

Aloha and much success,

Jason Cain

		<description>Bob, you're making this too hard. It's not about you! It's about your readers. Do you have relevant, useful information for them? Are you able to jot down ideas quickly and still make sense? Be true to yourself, and you'll be true to your readers. Once a week isn't enough, in my opinion, and with all of your knowledge, once a day should be a piece of cake. Don't whine about time...time is relative. I run a business, meet with clients, work on two books, and still find time to write daily...plus I contribute to two other blogs. It isn't because I type fast. It's because I have something to say which I know readers will find useful. How do I know...they comment or email me. You won't get blogging until you take it seriously. It's another form of communication, and it works. As for ROI, the ROI for me is in the small business requests to learn blogging, and in my ability now to engage editors of magazines in conversation about writing jobs. You need to pick your method of blogging, and stick with it awhile. Like anything else, it may change over time. But, like the Internet and websites and PPC and banner ads and email marketing, it AIN'T going away!</description>
