King of Contents
For a blogger the most important thing is your content. I know I go on about this all the time but its true! Nobody comes to your blog to see your fancy design theme and the pretty widgets.

Your posting frequency is directly tied to the activeness of your blog.
To post or not to post?
Well lets take a look at your national or local newspaper, would you buy the newspaper everyday if the articles were the same? Of course you wouldn't. If the articles are new everyday, your more likely to buy that newspaper. The same theory applies to blogs. People come to your blog to read your articles. That's not to say you have to post everyday. Every couple of days or maybe once a week is fine, as long as you have that consistency. There is no reason to visit your blog everyday if your contents is the same.
