An effective weblog must become a way of life. Otherwise you just don't have the dedication for it. Any decent personal weblog gets updated daily. But to put something meaningful up daily (I flatter myself) takes effort. Writing something down is harder than telling someone in conversation. For one thing, you feel compelled to be more complete. For another, you don't have another person to stimulate you to explore avenues you wouldn't otherwise think of. Still, you can kill two birds with one stone. If you write it down and post it, you'll have expended effort and gotten it out of your system. So you'll be less likely to blab about your boring and lame life and listen to someone for a change (you selfish jerk).
