Hi Sabine!
I think that the bottom line that I wanted to say in my previous comment is that one has to have some reasonable amount of *time* in order to be a heavy blogger. This is obvious. But one thing that is not obvious (at least to me) is how to find such a free time. (This is a worthy thing to look for if one is willing to write informative and high quality posts for the readers!). And, more importantly, quality of time, time to *think*. Once you have an idea or a thought that is crystal clear in your mind, writting is just a minor effort (apart from the problem of language, as you mention, which can be indeed terrible for non-native speakers!).
For me, finding time is not a question of discipline nor organization, which I do have a big sense of. What I need is some good amount (namely, several hours) of continuous, uninterrupted concentration (or contemplation!). I came to understand that I do no longer have such a luxury since my life has changed with a new family to "take care of" and a job that involved many responsabilities. Having a family is the best thing that ever happened to me and by no means I'd complain on that! It's really a question that in life we may lose some things but often gain others as well (sometimes even better ones), so it's really a question of how to adapt oneself for the new situation.
it doesn't take much of an internet connection to upload a textfile to blogger
Here I mean the use of many hyperlinks in the post. In order to do that, you have to have a good internet connection to navigate and find appropriate links to include.
In any case, my previous post here was not intended as a criticism for heavy bloggers!
In special, I'm happy that there exists some "heavy bloggers" out there that usually include high quality posts, like those on Backreaction. 
Unfortunately, such blogs are few, but I presume it is not much "only" because of time, you know what I mean. 
There are a lot of other elements involved in writting good posts and frequently.Christine
