I'm among the notion you should write every day, but I don't practice what I preach. Forcing yourself to write is good because it makes you think even though you may not have much to write about. It's an exercise of the mind.

If people are actively reading the blog, I'm sure they would expect a daily source of *something*. They would also expect it to be quality. Perhaps when there is nothing to be written on a certain day, the author could leave an interesting link for the reader to divert to, or just a "hello, here's my excuse for not writing."



We imagine that our newspapers come on schedule, but blogs are a bit more personal - direct to the author. So, I wouldn't imagine a print columnist to say "I don't have anything interesting for you today, check this out instead: ___ ." However, it may be appropriate for a blogger.
