That's something you'll have to figure out as you publish content. Bloggers develop different schedules over time depending on their audience responses, how often they feel they have something useful to say, etc. There is no right or wrong answer to this. Just don't publish content for the sake of publishing. Have something useful to say.

I remember Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net mentioned his readers get upset when he doesn't publish often enough. He developed a schedule of 2-4 posts per day so his audience got used it. Darren produced enough useful content so he can maintain that kind of blogging schedule. Not everyone can. On the other hand, I publish to my blog 2-3 times per week. That's what works for me. Someone else may have a different schedule.

Once your blog develops you'll discover what works best for you. Start out 2-3 times per week or whatever you think you can maintain and offer useful advice. As your blog and readership grows you'll start getting feedback you'll get a feel for how often you need to be writing.

Another thing I pay attention to is blog comments. My posts about money and traffic seem to get more comments than any other topic so I try to write more in those categories. That's one of those things I wouldn't have known until I started writing and getting a feel for what pushes my audience's buttons. My point is you have to experiment to find what works best. It'll just come with time.
