I know I pretend to be confident but it's much better to know that there are people who are enjoying what you're writing! Joanna Hi April, thanks for the feedback, it means a lot.

I think the idea of 'time at the top' is a good one - at least in theory, but I'm always itching to add something else... You're right though, I do enjoy it, and I feel more connected, creative, and happy when I'm writing regularly so why impose an external "should" as to how often I write? Thanks for reminding me to be true to myself too :-) Joanna Hi Lea, it’s good to hear from you.

I shouldn't get hung up what experts advise now should I, when I've got readers to listen to :-) Oh and thanks for the suggestion that it's okay to post twice a day if one's housekeeping - I might just go and write something else now!

However, if I feel I've written an especially good post which deserves a bit more headline time, I will sometimes schedule my next post a little later to give it more time at the top. Perhaps this is what Tim is talking about. Personally, I enjoy blogging as frequently as I do and in keeping with your topic of authenticity, if that's what you feel like doing...then so you should.

I think once a day for a good blog is a good frequency of posting. I think the frequency of posting all depends on the subject matter. I wouldn't post more than once a day unless something really big came up and I couldn't resist or I had posted a "housekeeping type of entry", those that are perhaps about the blog itself and not so much the subject matter of the blog.
