Quality Over Quantity?

28 June, 2007 - Your Feedback - 3 Comments

I took the day off work on Wednesday and as it happens, all hell broke loose. Well, it was a long way from hell, but when email on a server decides to stop working, it’s enough to make me scream! Oh wait. No it isn’t. That was the 70mph roller coaster which made me scream. (I spent the day at a theme park. Work hard, play hard, remember!)

Anyway, while I was flying backwards through jets of water, upside down, sending 50+ emails to customers and staff from my Blackberry, it became quite apparent I wasn’t going to have chance to blog. So that’s no big deal. One day without the Harrop Show. I’m sure you will all live.

Unfortunately, the email issues spilled over to today so I spent much of the day on the phone with customers and generally recovering from my adrenaline rush yesterday. So, I didn’t have time to blog on Thursday either (It’s 0015 GMT, so it’s now officially Friday). That means I went two days without blogging, which actually annoyed me. I made a promise to myself to blog at least once, sometimes twice, each day.

However, what’s done is done, and I’m now posing a question to you. Quality or quantity? I have several posts saved in the admin panel of this blog which aren’t quite up to the usual quality. They don’t include much of my own opinion, but they do have a clear and interesting entrepreneurial message. I’ve been keeping them there for a very rainy day, where I didn’t have time to blog or I had a writers block.

So, let’s take the past 48 hours as an example. Would you have preferred to have seen two posts of lower quality than normal (but still quite interesting), or no posts at all followed by the usual quality later on Friday? In simple terms, do you prefer quantity or quality? Let me know, and I’ll try to accommodate the majority in future.

Quality is Quantity, if that makes sence, (i know what i mean :D )

Good quality posts make quantity.

Quantity does not make Quality

Personally, I like to see at least one post per day. In fact, I dont even mind if its a real short one. Anything to read is better than nothing!

Thanks Chris. :)

I’m trying my best to get at least one post up each day. Today I even managed two (I think that’s the first time I’ve done that since I launched the blog). Blogging is a lot harder than I expected, and finding quality content to write about is often harder.

Now, this poses a new question. Do you blog on a weekend? Since I launched the blog it seems I have been quiet over the weekends. Not out of choice. It just so happens I’ve been busy. However, it seems most bloggers tend to keep up the same posting schedule on a weekend as they do during the week.

I guess I’ll try and meet their challenge and start blogging on a weekend! :)
