@colinwalker If you ask me, part of our collective problem is the expectations around how often we should share. Both our expectations for selves and for others. Many assume blogs should be updated daily/regularly. But, there's no rule that suggests this. The magic and mission of RSS makes it such that we don't have to go and check ourselves for new stuff, it'll come to us when it's ready.

@patrickrhone It’s not just the sharing, or even the consumption, but more the desire to step back.

@colinwalker I like the idea of explaining why there is not a post on that day, but the Sorry feels a little out of place. It makes it seem that readers are owed a post and that you are letting them down by not having one.

@rosskimes Hmm, you could be on to something there. I’ll have a think about that. Thanks.

Ross made an interesting point that having "Sorry" on a day archive with no posts "makes it seem that readers are owed a post and that you are letting them down by not having one." He's right! And, as Patrick mentions: "part of our collective problem is the expectations around how often we should share." As not posting at weekends is part of a desire to step back a bit saying sorry does indeed seem wrong. I've, therefore, changed it to be more like the Today page:

@colinwalker Looks good!
