While it would be difficult for any new blogger to aim straight for the top 100 successful blogs on the whole internet, hope does not appear to be lost if you want to create a successful post without posting 10 times every day. In terms of posting rates, the box on the graph seems to be saying that: "if you post once a day or more (25 times a month) then you've a good chance of being somewhere in the top 5000 bloggers on the internet because most blogs post only once every three days or so (10 times a month)." So if you set your blogging work-flow up for just two posts a day (60 or so a month), you'll go far. Further, I imagine, if they're quality posts. Interesting.

It would still only be a slight improvement as far as diluting interest in one particular post goes, but would be better overall concept. Trying out intense debate.

Posting more than twice tends to kill conversation between loyal commenters and usually doesn't develop the really interesting comment threads. On the other hand, I have a big queue of good content, much of it original material submitted by readers. They get annoyed if the submission they've taken the trouble to send doesn't appear for months. I'm not really sure how to resolve it.
