Habits are important for bloggers. And being a perfectionist is certainly a non-welcome for everyone who wish to publish a blog. Honestly, because I often like things to be perfect, this makes writing particularly difficult. But here is the thing - I am going to change it.

My problem with blogging is that I wanted to write a frequently updated blog with interesting and deep articles. And every day I had one or more great ideas, obviously worth writing about. But at the end of the day I never have time or strength to write long articles.

But it appears (thanks for feedback) that many of my readers would rather just read things more frequently instead of well-polished articles. And I think I will follow this direction.

From now on, my new resolution is to post every day. Not necessarily more. Just every day. A few ad-hoc rules are:

• No minimum number of words in the article.
• If I have nothing to say, I will not try to try. Instead I will link to resources I find interesting, but with at least a few words of comment.
• I will try to keep this blog on topics: wikidot, programming etc., but anything else that catches my attention is also OK.
• I will try to care more about proper English (thanks for help, Mom!), being a non-native speaker makes it more difficult.

I will start today.

So send me a bunch of nasty emails if you do not see at least 28 blog posts this month and at least one per day :-D

Yeah, right… You know what? I just simply do not believe you. I bet you won't write one post per day (sounds like one-laptop-per-child) for the upcoming month :)

I think we can bet. Of course if you do not mind buying me a good beer by the end of the month.

Good idea Michal

Squark shouldn't you make a similar commitment? Michal's not the only blogger we are anticipating more posts from!

Same thing

Got the same problem, and the same direction that i'm thinging of going in.

I'll also make some changes, but probably not so radical.

Greetings from Olsztyn ;)

Blog per day?
