Call it slacking off, call it innovating, whatever one calls it the unprecedented is happening:

One of the sacred blogging laws is being rewritten.

Back in 2005 the laws were clear, they were understood, and for over two years since they have been most definitely wholly and truthfully abided by (if jokingly). But now in these enlightened times it seems we are due for a change, and thus is required a rewriting of the rulebook. No longer is only one article per day permitted, but now we may have plenty! The old rule (reproduced below), as it stood can be found in its original context in this article from September, 2005.

Law 4 (Intervals)

1. The blogger should not publish more than one post on his/her Blog in a single day.
(i) A day does not constitute 24 hours, but instead, the date the previous post was published.
(ii) Hence, if a post was published at 14:45 on the 6th September 2005, it is fair-play to publish a new post at 10:12 on the 7th September 2005.
(iii) To avoid confusion, it must be made clear that it is fair-play to publish a post at 23:55 on one day, and only a few minutes later, at 00:05 on the following day, to publish a new post.
(iv) However, it is not advised to publish a post at 00:05 in the morning on one day, and to publish a new post at 23:55 in the evening of the same day.

2. The only time this law should be broken, is when two unconnected and unconnectable issues of particular import need to be addressed without delay.

The new law reads thus:

Law 4 (Intervals)

The blogger may publish as many articles as he/she wishes in a single day.

Much more elegant and concise, methinks. But it doesn't stop there! A change to the chaptering system is now afoot. To my knowledge, the rule has never been set in legal terms, only having been alluded to in this article from March, 2006. The general gist was that each chapter is to contain eight articles, and each fourth chapter is to be devoted to a specific topic. This is no longer:

Law 3 (Chaptering)

1. Chapters may be of variant length, decided at the blogger's discretion.
2. Each fourth chapter is to be devoted to a chosen theme.
(i) It is advisable that these themed chapters are no shorter than eight articles.
(ii) They must begin with an introductory article, and end with a concluding one.

These seem much more satisfactory to me, and I expect they will serve us well for a long time to come.
