I think I am often in a dilemma between having too many topics to post about and leaving time for my readers to read and comment on the posts, especially posts that I really put time into). I always get the feeling that first time visitors would only look at your first few posts...
The converse is also true. On weeks when I'm really busy, I would not write an entry for over a week. I get the feeling that turns away regulars.
So how often do people post new entries?
I post every weekday. I have the luxury of not have any of my posts get outdated since they are movie reviews, if they want to comment on a movie they'll find it no matter when I posted it. I try to just post 1 review every weekday, so far the format has been working well for me.
When I posted "Magpie and tinselstruck" it ws my first post for 6 months, Wow!

I post whenever I feel like moving over to another discussion, or when I'm sure that I've covered 100% of the game I'm going to review.
I post whenever I feel the post I published has gotten enough views, but you can post a new entry whenever you like. Posting frequently is the path to success on a blog.
I decided that I will post a new entry every wednesday and then anywhere sporatically inbetween. I chose wednesday because we see movies every tuesday so it gives me a good topic. Also in past blogs i've had i always seemed to forget to post for weeks on end so this gives me a solid time each week to do it.
I post once a day, I think there's only been one day so far where I've failed to post. I don't think I'll keep that up forever though, maybe 4-5 times a week in future.
Generally after my previous post has gotten some traffic, I'll toss up the new one, but usually no more than increments of five or six days before a new post regardless
when I feel inspired :)
I generally post (or if it is a long post, work on a post) every day except sunday but this is flexible. it wasnt always like this but i building the habit.
i post once a day and that's it unless i have to edit
I try to post every day in my main one. This normally happens without fail. My secondary just whenever I feel like it, which seems to even out to about once a week.
I post every few hours when an idea or information comes to me. I usually write short blogs because I don't want to bore my readers.
I try to post once a day, but sometimes I post several times a day. I have my blog split up into sections, which makes finding things to post about a lot easier. But then, I don't write for my readers -- I write for myself.
