I think you've hit the nail on the head with the 'people read for character' - and I would not want to write for an audience, where every time I blog I'll have to wonder 'how do I present this'? 'How can I get the most out of this event?' (I'd add Robin McKinley to the list of people who have built a blog following by writing about their life in this manner - I like her blog tremendously, but it's a performance, and I would not wish to imitate it. I think this might go to explain why she feels compelled to keep blogging on her schedule - most of us would, if faced with Life, post less frequently, but we don't have a contract with our readers to entertain them.
