How long does it take to write a high quality technical blog post?

Define high quality.

If you are new to blogging, and looking to improve, just keep practicing. Some great blogs posts are worthless to other demographics, and sometimes a 10 minute post is what you'd end up as your most popular content.

Speaking from personal experience, I spend about 3 hours minimum on a blog post. I write in markdown, and of I have to create graphs or diagrams, I spend more time. There are some posts that took me a week or so to complete.

To some degree, it depends exactly what the topic is, how much detail you're willing to go into, how you want to format it, etc.

If you're writing a comprehensive tutorial for a new framework or design pattern and including tons of code samples and resource links, that could easily take a good few hours, days or even weeks. Same goes if the topic is kinda niche and you're writing for experts in the field, like how to program an in browser VR experience using the canvas element + multiple libraries and frameworks and cutting edge ES6 features.

On the other hand if your post is a bit more modest and mostly deals with a fairly familiar, limited concept, it could probably be done in an hour or less depending on your personal expertise.

It really does depend on the kind of topic that you are teaching.

As others have stated here, it could be as little an hour to as long as a few days.

There is, however, a framework that I use to speed things up a bit and put probability a bit more in my favor when it comes to helping my potential reader to understand better what I'm trying to explain.
