Post frequency is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now and it looks like the Marketing Profs Daily Fix Blog has taken the topic on. The central point, as long as your posts are good, and you have an RSS feed, posting to your blog often isn’t as important as it used to be. Opinions?

Well, since I said much the same thing a while back, I agree… the interesting new spin is that forced frequency of posts is specifically a bad thing, as it clutters up RSS aggregators and can encourage people to decide your stuff isn’t worth reading. I’m inclined to agree with that as well. (Actually, the whole “marketing” post was remarkably sensible, and remarkably…um…non-traditional marketing.)
