My suggestion was only partly serious, but IMO, focusing on great content is probably one reason many blogs are abandoned - people worrying that an entry won't cut it. That doesn't meant everyone should post junk, but sometimes you can write something short and punchy rather than an epic essay.

Agreed. My most successful blogs over the years started initially with pretty low quality, high throughput "just stuff I want to post" stuff. Then eventually they became higher quality (and more difficult to post to). It seems like a good process, rather than just expecting to write high quality stuff out of the gate.
