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.

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.
