Retrospective: weblog.dominik.net at 11 weeks of age
Well, it seems like weblog.dominik.net needed a respite from the rigors of MIT to take off and flourish as a regular feature. Since the first pair of posts on March 17, 2004, I’ve made 54 posts, not counting this one. The longest string of posting was five days in a row at the start of the blog, since then there’ve been three sets of three days in a row. The most posts in a single day happened on April 12th, with 5 posts. I most often post on Wednesday and Saturday, with 10 posts each for those days, and I most rarely post on Friday, having only made three Friday posts in these past weeks. The longest entry ran about three printed pages, but after I realized blog entries are supposed to be short I’ve tightened things up a bit and made my entries shorter… though I’ve gotten into the habit of spam-posting (e.g. look at the timestamps of the posts immediately prior this one :P).
Numerical analysis aside, the content I’ve examined in the course of the blog has mostly been reprocessing various media that I’ve consumed (yarr, reviewing what I read/saw/listened to) along with occasional links/commentary/general ramblings on life along the latest virulent meme to pass through. I haven’t really shared anything juicy about my personal life (yawn) but I have made a few philosophical introspections. Overall, has this blog been a useful, fun thing? Sure. I’ll be looking into strategically expanding into other content areas in my blog, so let me know if there’s anything you want to see :P

I think I would read a long entry if I was interested in the content.

That said, if your blog entry is going to be long because it encompasses many different topic areas, spam posting is really a much better idea, because someone may start reading an entry and decide they aren’t interested, when, in fact, they are interested in the material that shows up later in the entry. =)
