As someone also doing production Django for a web-app (as opposed to a news/content site) I'm thrilled to see a team committed to posting lessons-learned... but I'm always suspicious of "We're gonna post lots of great stuff here.. you know, soon." So hopefully you start coughing up the content. Looking forward to it :)
It really is a challenge. Maybe you could create a small buffer of articles. The size of the buffer would depend on how often you're going to post, but enough to last you a week or two. Everything in the buffer should be ready to publish so that you can always post something interesting at the intended rate. Even if you're dead-set on posting that thing on Friday, you'll be surprised to learn how hard it can be to find the time and motivation when your servers are melting, a critical bug has been exposed in your software and you're (non-blog-writing) friends come in, swinging two cold beers in each hand.

It's always a challenge to get more posts out but we're committed to it :-)

> It's always a challenge to get more posts out
And you say that before you have even one content post out?!
I'm not holding my breath...
