Of course both average and standard deviation are problematic since one cannot have less than zero posts in a given day. Have to really dust off my stats to recall proper mathematics on that. Frankly, I predict I'll grab a beer and make the executive decision to simplify by assuming a normal distribution.
Don't forget "exponential smoothing"!
