Fwd: Why Blog Post Frequency Does Not Matter Anymore
Posted on November 14, 2007, under Web Dev/Tech.
Thanks to Eric Kintz for posting an entry I’d been thinking about doing myself since last year:
Why Blog Post Frequency Does Not Matter Anymore
My particular favorites:
- #3- Loyal readers coming back daily to check your posts is so Web 1.0
- #4 – Frequent posting is actually starting to have a negative impact on loyalty
My daily web reading is mainly facilitated through RSS feed subscriptions (point 3), and I have actually unsubscribed to several feeds who just posted too often (point 4). They were clogging up my RSS reader, and making me feel constantly behind. So out they went!
Generally speaking, I think the frequent-post mentality is old school, so please don’t do it. I might unsubscribe.
Super easy SharePoint RSS/ATOM reader

I happened to stumble upon George Tsiokos’ Windows SharePoint Services RSS (WSS-RSS) RSS/ATOM reader today – awesome! His use of XLST to convert RSS feeds to a native Windows SharePoint Services DataViewWebPart (DWP) file makes it possible for any Portal or Team Site administrator to add RSS feeds to their SharePoint pages.
You don’t even need to download a utility! Just use the form on his blog post to generate the DWP file that you use to import into SharePoint as a WebPart. The whole process takes seconds.
Thanks George!!
