# After a second weekend spent out and about with family I'm convinced that staying predominantly offline and not posting for those two days a week is going to be something worth sticking to.
That doesn't mean I won't post if something comes up that I feel sufficiently worthy, but most things can wait.
I think I'll update the blog to mention this when visiting a day without posts or the Today page when viewing it on the weekend.

# Changes made.
If you visit a "day" archive for either a Saturday or Sunday, or the Today page and there are no posts it will advise I am now not usually posting at weekends:
(Ignore the first date, it's from a test page)

# 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 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.
