I do both on my blog ( http://upgadgets.com ), write my own and outsource some. The issue here, is just continuity and keep doing it. Make sure if you are outsourcing your articles to do the following:

1- Posts should have relevant pictures/video attached (Go to google > images > usage rights > and choose rights accordingly)

2- Make sure you read the articles afterwards to check any errors

3- Have a list of articles you want to write about each week and send them to your freelancer

4- Even better, if your freelancer can come up with ideas for your Blog posts

5- Compensate your freelancer accordingly (ie bonus if articles are really good)

6- Hire more than one freelancer if you want continuity. If one of your freelancer goes on holidays or is not interested anymore, you should have a backup ready.
