Questioning Quantity & Quality = Q: Blogging from A to Z

I am constantly questioning. Rarely does a day go by where I don't analyze and try to process a myriad of issues. As a writer, I love questioning... diving deep into my own thoughts and trying to figure out the thoughts of others adds to my character database.

Today, I thought I'd question my readers on some things I've been pondering lately.

First, questioning quantity.

I love blogging, it's exercise for my writing muscles, but I'm always unsure how many posts a week people want. Challenges like A to Z and May's Blogathon inspire me to post daily, but can most readers keep up with that? Do they want to?

Please help me out by answering this poll.

Online Surveys & Market ResearchSecond, questioning quality.
I love to read, and nothing distracts me more than errors throughout a story. I'm a firm believer in not giving a reader any excuse to disengage from your work. Poor grammar, bad punctuation, awkward sentences... it all distracts me from the story.
But what's acceptable?
I have to admit I'm more critical of traditionally published novels. Those novels get the benefit of an experienced and focused editing department. A few errors in one of those novels comes across as sloppy. However, I understand more errors in independently published books. I'm still picky and those authors aren't off the hook, but it's hard to find a trustworthy professional editor who knows what they are doing.
Are you more lenient about errors in independently published books? Will you put a book down for having too many errors, or can an amazing story hold your attention?
