Personal rant about blogging is how long it takes. I'm already reading SQL mags and studying for a cert, and all this after putting in 40+ hours per week. The blog posts I've written tend to take at least 2 hours to write, because I do a lot of research to link to sources and images. I wish there was a faster way somehow, although I'm pretty sure there isn't!I've been thinking about blogging just once per week. I guess that would be doable.
Here's what I'd recommend to you. First, write shorter posts. Don't spend 2 hours trying to exhaustively research something that's large. Focus on something smaller.
Second, write 5-10 posts and hold them back. You can use LiveWriter for offline work, or draft them for your site, but hold them. Once you have 5-10, schedule them out, say one every two weeks. It doesn't matter when they publish.
Third, set a reminder to write for 15-30 minutes once a week. Go over what you've done, what you work on, write some things up. You might work on 2-3 posts in that time, none completely done, but you'll be documenting what you learn, or what you do.
