How often should you update and add posts to your orble blog?
I used to have a nice routine set up to adding posts every other day, but regular schedules change, so blogging routines get disturbed and set aside. I try to update at least once a week, but I'm trying to do the daily thing with a few of my blogs. Would you recommend anything different?
Is it ok to post multiple times in one day? Well, not necessarily ok, but in terms of blogging, traffic, etc.
Anyway, what's the best manner to update and add posts per week/day?

However you should try to set a pace which you can keep in the long term. Many bloggers burn-out after a month or two and setting a slower pace from beginning can help with this.
Another important consideration is the spacing of your posts. It's better to have spread out your posts as evenly as possible, rather than have say 5 on Monday and none for the rest of the week.
You can use the Display Time field to delay the publication of a post which can help in spacing them properly.
The minimum number of posts for a successful blog is probably about 3 per week.

I just found the Display Time field option, which is pretty cool if you ask me. One question though, what time zone does it calculate with? I know I tried it out the other day, and had the post publish before I woke up, and it was timed when I would be sitting at my desk at work.

It's easy to get frustrated at the beginning, when you're putting in all the work, and it seems like your traffic isn't growing. Keep at it, though, and look at your traffic stats to see what brings people in!

Cibbuano, I'm not worried about traffic this very minute, I'm more or less worried about long term traffic. I'm not new to getting traffic and how it works.
