One Post Per Day (part 3)
Posting everyday has been a great exercise. After only a few weeks I can tell I’m getting faster at finishing a post. During the day I sometimes find myself writing posts in my head and storing them away for later. Soon I need to start moving into writing more professional posts that benefit my company or one of my many projects. That will be more difficult, but I feel like it will be easier now than if I had tried a month ago.
In part 2 I mentioned I might have to give myself a break on weekends, and that was definitely necessary this last weekend. I had a pretty strenuous day Friday, and then left town almost immediately after work to go rock climbing with a friend. Then I had a full day of hiking and climbing on Saturday, and didn’t get home until late Saturday night. So the hour before bed that I normally take to write a post wasn’t very possible those days. I have however written two posts today already, so maybe I’ll use Sundays as sort of a catch up day.
I haven’t written a post on my iPhone yet. That would make it easier to get a post done when I’m away from my computer, but I don’t imagine it would be a lot of fun typing a post into the iphone keyboard. I’m sure those will be much shorter posts.
One thing I need to improve on is adding photos to my posts. I’m sure there’s stats out there that show posts with images get read more, but it’s really just kind of common sense. I’ve been a little lazy up to this point because of some server issues, but being a web designer, I really have no excuse. So hopefully some of my upcoming posts will utilize some pictures.
