I think that there are a lot of people like yourself that have discovered the medium and it’s many benefits. Some, rarely, like Heather get lucky and hit it big like that. The rest of us sit and churn out our meager traffic and our meager posts and cross our fingers.

I’m finding it rare – like dooce.com rare – where a kick-ass writer who also knows how to design sites has an interesting life to write about. Most are like me: I can write. Sometimes. And I know just enough html to be dangerous. And my life goes in fits and starts. Doesn’t make for regular posting…is there an “exlax” product for that?

Actually I intend to redo the site at some point. It still isn’t exactly what I want. About 3-4 years ago I used a static site with a dynamic page built in. That way I was able to have the various static content that I want on my site, poems and pictures. but also have dynamic content. That way is now archaic of course and not practical. So the eventual goal will be to design a static shell for WordPress, so still leaving it with a dynamic backend. It is going to be one heck of a project, but one that once started (and completed) will be personally what I want to see in a personal website. However I digress here.

So when we talk about “post regularity” you hit the nail on the head – it is the purpose behind the site that dictates the frequency in which the site should be updated with fresh content.
