I think it will be about finding a balance, releasing over time, and adjusting week by week.
My approach is this - release 1-3 posts a week, comment, read, consume, and learn what I like and don't like about each post - and try supercharge my posts with 10000% value so that every single one is a gold mine. I agree with the effort idea, it's the only thing that will make any blog bearable in the long term.
