You’ve got the priorities nailed…do not sweat it…fewer analytical pieces rather than something on all the news is better, IMHO…good post.

The only advice I can think of is this: don't hunt too hard for material. Your best, most passionate and compelling posts are those in which you tackle a topic that you want to write about rather than one you feel obligated to. You know what interests you. Stick with that.

Like most advice, that's just a reminder of something you already know, I'm sure. Good luck. Searchblog remains a lovely read.

My $0.02...

1. Offer to sell the Searchblog to someone that you trust can maintain it.

2. Invite more authors into the Searchblog and then set back and just become a contributor.

I hadn’t noticed. I support you keeping your priorities straight and I’m glad you will continue to keep this site going. I always appreciate your insights and I am looking ofrward to your book.

I didn't know your blog sucked until you pointed it out.

Seriously though, short entries or long entries are all good to me. I appreciate your thoughts on the industry whenver I can get them.

two solutions:

1. start a linkblog where you offer one sentence thoughts on the daily stuff while doing longer form posting here

2. invite trusted guest authors to post

While I'm sad to get less searchblog, I'm thrilled to see another respected player join the "support the blogger" vertical.

You should give the site to Rafat Ali or Om Malik to run!

Hope you're having an amazing summer.

Why don’t you invite guests to take the helm of your blog for a week at a time?

Hey, a little Battelle is better than no Battelle at all. We understand you’re doing what you can.

"Unfortunately, to start FM and get Web 2.0 pulled together, and not sacrifice family..."

Sounds like you have your priorities straight to me! Thanks for sharing your posts with us, and I'm looking forward to the book.
