Blogging definitely requires discipline and setting a standard up front. In my own blogging I posted daily (weekdays) for the first year or so then reduced to 3-4 times/week, then fell off to 1-2 times. As your blog grows you are also faced with not just posting but responding, so if I don't have time to do both I'll hold off on a post. For clients, I advise them to choose a realistic goal and then stick to it. If they post only on Mondays they can announce that - new posts every Monday. Readers know what to expect and are not frustrated by your schedule. Very good analogy! Blogging definitely requires discipline and setting a standard up front.
