Blog frequency is a thought going through many heads consciously and unconsciously. How often should one blog, and how much should one blog. Intrinsically it seems that frequent blogging on a daily basis is good and blogging sporadically is bad.

Too much blogging is not good either. If I blogged every minute my life would suddenly seem boring (when we break things down into pieces, like our life, things become simplistic). If I blogged every year no-one would visit my blog. And what should that yearly blog say? Surely, as compared to a minute-blog, I should then at least have something profound to say. Which would not necessarily be the case.

Some things in life can be reduced to Aristotle (some can’t, making that statement quite arbitrary). And blogging frequency is an interesting candidate. According to the golden mean the ideal blogger’s posts are somewhere in the middle of too much and too little blogging. Making this blog up till now fall outside of the golden mean. Perhaps I should change that.
