    In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop - New York Times

    I wasn't aware that Om had a heart attack in December.

    Bloggers need to stop taking themselves so seriously. First - writing posts at a rate of several per day is probably too much. Very few readers will actually read the majority of your posts.

    Even with news reader software, I can't take the time to keep up with all the blogs I find "interesting". I don't really want to read "twitchy" articles, written by bloggers who are anxious to be the first to break a story. I'd rather read insightful and educational posts where someone has actually taken some time to analyze, research, compare, contrast, etc.

    Bloggers who write for a living need to find a model where they can get out of the rat race, and into a more productive (healthy) lifestyle.

    Quoted: Some professional bloggers complain of the stressful demands of a constant flow of news and comment.
