Code Camp 2010 decompression

Today while reviewing my notes from Code Camp Orlando 2010, I kept thinking about how most of the presenters kept encouraging IT professionals to blog and tweet. Andy Warren (sqlandy.com) has spoken to me many times in the past about the power of blogging and social networking but never took either all that seriously. In one of the last sessions for the day, presented by Andy, he had asked the room our reasons for not blogging. The only reason I could come up with for why I did not blog is a lack of content to share. I have posted a few items here and there that I felt were useful and informative, or things I felt like sharing so others would have a reference later on, but I don't encounter those situations on a daily basis. I am torn between posting useful content (quality), over a quantity of posts.

How do you, or the authors of blogs you read, provide useful blog content between those "blow your mind" posts that Paul Randal puts out oh so frequently?
