It is tempting to treat a weblog like a public journal, to let it be loose and floppy in that way. But weblogs want to be tight. Their natural use requires it. People bookmark a bundle of weblogs and check them frequently. They need the whole process to fit in their lives. And that use requires tight, frequent posts -- new entries daily to keep people interested, and not so much that it makes the whole enterprise a chore, over months or years.
It is also an interesting discipline, to break what one has to say into pieces. That gives the components individual attention.
