Sonia, This is a great thoughtful post in a fast-paced world. I agree that slow blogging is a great way to really produce quality content. I find that I can slow blog certain posts each week, and then I have to do speed blogging sometimes to keep up with all the ideas I want to get down on my blog. The idea of "flagship posts" is great. Thank you for your insight. Stephanie Valentine Stephanie Valentines last blog post..Online MLM Marketing — Don’t Be a Used-Car Salesman

My favorite blogs are the ones that give me a sense that people are really thinking about what they are writing and really care about their readers. That they want people to get something out of it. I don't read blogs that are full of info recycled from other sites, or if it gives the impression the writer is trying to pump up his/her numbers so they can sell me something. I hate Big Macs! I used to be really worried about how many readers I was "catching," but now I'm happy with my 15 subscribers who have stuck with me because I know I am able to help them in some way, either through info or entertainment. My own system is to mix up my posts with news about publishing and books, my own thoughts on running a press, and an occasional guest here and there (I'd love more of those). I try to do three posts a week, but if I don't have anything but soundbites that week, I skip it. One quicky a week is plenty. Thanks for this post. I really enjoy your writing.

I love all of you slow bloggers out there! I think I may have pushed the definition a bit too much in the last weeks, but I’m steering things back in the non-glacial direction.

Sonia,
Nice post. Thanks for reminding me to slow done and keep focused on the quality of my writing and sustainable value of the content. It’s the Flagship content that keeps you in the minds of your readers, and hopefully keeps them coming back.

Your does!

I love that you advocate thoughtful, deliberate blogging! I've been blogging since I posted my first website in 1995, back when I was using free HTML tools to do what our content management systems do today. (Bless the developers of CMS!) I've just started a new blog for my company, and I'm struggling a bit to find my voice for this blog. I'm still experimenting with exactly what I want to share as the ambassador for my company. In the past, I've keep topical blogs and covered all sorts of personal topics. This one is a real challenge. I started out thinking I would write more often and that I would write relatively short blog posts. Oh, my naive dreams. It turns out, the ones that I'm doing quick and short are not so satisfying to write, and I suspect, to read. What I'm finding is that I have about one long blog post a week inside me. Sometimes, I spend a whole afternoon writing it, and sometimes, I write it in smaller pieces over a couple of days or weeks. To bump up the post count, I've started a Friday Reflection series, where I share a story about what I've been learning in my business during the week. It's more about the backstory of running my business. I find them a lot more fun to write than the topical themes I had originally scheduled. I spend most of the week crafting them, and do my best to have them written for review and rewriting by Thursday lunch. Bravo to you for encouraging the slow blogging!
