Feeding the "content monster"

I guess I have this blogging thing all wrong.
I was under the impression that if you have nothing left to post, or if
you don't feel like posting for a long time, you should tale your blog
down.
I was wrong. I've been looking at other blogs that haven't had updates
for days, weeks, or months. But there they are - cobwebs for all to
see.
Ok, I get the message now- no more "man of a thousand blogs".
As far as a blog theme...it’s a work in progress.
