April 2015 will mark my 5th anniversary of blogging on My Adorable Small Town Life. Holy shitsnacks!Over the years I have posted regularly on the blog (2013), irregularly (2012), and a mixture between regularly and irregularly (2014).
My goal this year is to have a blog up at least Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Three days a week instead of five will help me be more consistent, and at that rate I will still total around 150 posts by year's end (a good number, I think).
My preferred way to blog is to write my posts in advance and schedule them, which is what I will continue to do this year. The odd time I'll write the same day I post, but mostly I'll stick to scheduling.
There is also a shiny new "Subscribe By Email" button in the right hand side bar of the blog (just above my Twitter feed). So if you want posts to go strait to your inbox, feel free to subscribe. On post days, the emails are sent out around 7:00am (EST).
Happy Blogging in 2015!

Hope you have lots of fun with your new blogging goal.
ReplyDeletePS: I like both live and preset posts. Lately I've been doing more live ones, which for me are fun. To just sit and spit out whatever. But the scheduled one are nice for days when I know I'll be offline, most of that day.
Happy Blogging.
Thanks - happy blogging!! I don't mind live posts - they are fun and I'm sure there will be some I do this year - I just know I'm more likely to post if I do it in advance.
DeleteOh yeah, I totally get that. And because of you there's a blogging calendar near my writing desk (along with an Autumn postcard from you).
DeleteSo thanks, for both of those things :-)
:-)
DeleteCongratulations on five years. I hit that last November and can't believe I've been doing it this long.
ReplyDeleteWish I could preschedule posts.
Thank you so much and thanks for the comment! Congrats to you as well. Time flew for me, I too can't believe it has been this long.
DeleteFive years is quite a mark, and I tend to post in the writing blog three times a week, so it does come up to a hundred and fifty or so, which is a good number for the year. I do preschedule and write my writing blog in advance- that helps as opposed to doing it at the last minute. My photoblog tends to be in advance, though sometimes not so far in advance.
ReplyDeleteThat's great about 150 - I agree that is good. I will like hitting that goal. That is neat that you write in advance as well. It is the process that works best for me.
Delete"not so far in advance" is a problem I have sometimes too! :) But I'm really trying to make the most of posting in advance, that way if something comes up I will still have some posts ready.
