Heheh, found this in my drafts… already showing its age since mongers has retired from daily bloggage…
If your blog is one of the rare few that has readers, then I reckon blogging daily is the surest way to keep ‘em. Unfortunately in my case, this is a surefire recipe for a bunch or really rubbish blogs. I started to write one today which wasn’t finished in my head so wouldn’t have made any sense, but if I wait until it is finished in my head it simply won’t get blogged. My Drafts list is a testament to that.
Fortunately, while I’m not as hard-working or dedicated as Mongers, he is dedicated enough to compensate for my shortcomings. If you are unable to blog daily the LEAST you can do for your readers is provide some mechanism by which they can tell whether there’s anything new to read. For this there is of course Maurice, and Mongers’ extremely handy sidebar being sorted by posts’ recentitudinalness.
Here’s to Mongers and Maurice!

I’m feeling much less pressure to blog daily now that my readers are at least provided with a new photo each day.
I agree! Who’s Maurice, though?
Maurice is the server that emails us when people post to blogs. No idea whether he’s still running as I’m not subscribed.
I must confess that I very much miss Mongers’s’s’s daily blog. It was my daily pick-me-up when I arrived at work each morning. Ho well.
Maurice is one of Mongers’ pet imps/pixies/goblins.
A good thought, but it does rely on the ever lovely SimonG and being on his list.
Thanks, I didn’t know that!
