After several months of focusing on other things online and off, I’m going to be bringing this blog back to life. I have a lot or reasons for it. The top two are that I have been feeling the urge to write about these topics and that I have a couple side projects that would launch well from this blog and figure it would be smart to bring the blog back to life before undertaking those projects.
As part of relaunching this blog, I have a checklist of things that I am planning in the near future.
Consolidate categories
- Blogging
- Internet (miscellaneous internet related things)
- Making money online
- Social media and other online marketing
- WordPress (tweaks, code, and maintenace)
- Other (sometimes something just will not fit one of those topics)
Regular posting schedule
- Starting with two posts a week. Monday and Thursday.
- Focus on the topics that specifically fit the categories listed above
Switch to Thesis theme
- I use this on almost all of my other sites but never managed to put on this site. I prefer to have one generic theme that is common between all of my sites and then do minor tweaks to differentiate them.
Create bigger footer with lots of functionality
- Categories
- Links to my social media profiles
- Fuller about me info
- All of this will free me up to only use one sidebar and have more interesting and useful things there.
New banner
- I had a friend make a nice custom one a while back and when I never got around to migrating to the Thesis theme, I ended up not switching to the banner, too.
Build a queue of future posts
- This is probably the most important project for me. I am planning on opening up my Google Calendar and actually scheduling the writing of my Monday and Thursday posts. Then I’m going to create a bunch of starter drafts of posts in WordPress so that when I sit down, I have some topics to choose from instead of just flying by the seat of my pants. The goal would be to be able to tell somebody at the beginning of May what my posts are going to be about that month.
- If something time sensitive comes up, I can adjust all of the schedules or just do an extra post that week.
So that is my blueprint for bringing Webby Thoughts back to life. If you subscribed a while back, thanks for keeping me in your feed reader and I hope to see you in the comments.
