Eric Kintz dispells some of the myths about blogs, including the importance of traffic, posting every day, and RSS burnout.
Great article.
I often get asked how to get a blog started, how often to post, do I have the time. Some bloggers get caught up in the “popularity contest” of blogs (i.e. who’s more read, etc.).
