Recurring posts are a good way to keep up activity on a blog or website. It doesn't have to be a tight schedule, although it can.
Exactly - that was the idea behind it! Rather than trying to pigeonhole myself into a certain type of media (e.g. new music this week), I thought keeping it open would make it easy to find material.
However, I have found it surprisingly difficult to fill both categories. Sometimes I'll know what I want to write for the "new", but landing on an "old" that I have something to say about eludes me. Or, I'll struggle to think of any new material I've interacted with.
Have you tried putting a feedback question at the end? Usually people are more inclined to comment if you ask something like, "What are some of your favorite old or new things in this category?"
It's true; I guess I assumed that if people were interested in what I had to say, they'd read it (and interact) regardless of whether it had a question in it. But I'm trying to get into the habit of including questions at the end of most of my posts as a matter of course.
