I’ve been blogging for a while and it’s fun for me, but I often beat myself up for not posting enough. It’s easy to let blogging activity slip when you’re busy doing other things like earning a living. So for the month of June I am committing to at least one blog post per day (Mon – Sat) at either http://ardentdev.com or http://derekhat.com. Hopefully we can get some good conversations going.
At the end of the month if I find that no one seems to care a lot about the increased frequency, I will go back to blogging when it’s convenient and stop beating myself up for not posting more. But if we can get some good dialogue happening, I will extend the experiment through the summer.
Good luck!

Another month and I should be back in the swing of things though. Just keep posting and I’ll catch up on your feed items.

This might all settle out with a posting schedule along the lines of at least 4 posts per week.

It was a reasonably successful exercise in self-discipline so I am going to repeat it this year with a slight variation: I will post something at derekhat.com every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday for the month of June 2009.
