How was it for you?
My days are stretching at the moment as I take longer and longer to complete tasks and in some cases go back and update previous tasks. However, I think I can now divide my tasks for the blog into three distinct activities;
Development - this is about writing posts that are interesting and that others want to read, finding your style and responding to others be they on your blog or reaching out to other bloggers. This would include blogging about other sites/blogs and making a reader famous.
Housework – these are the rather boring activities that are best completed at regular intervals otherwise they become enormous. They are things like checking for broken links, going back and adding links to forward posts and for me looking at Google analytics to see what is happening and whether I can link it to anything that I have done. What I have discovered is that somethings are slow burners. I posted about digital texts some time ago but recently someone tweeted about it and the number of hits to that page has increased.
Promotion - I hate this title but can’t think of anything else to describe it. I have been contributing to nings, twitter and other blogs and where appropriate linking to my blog but only every now and then. Is it that British rather reserved part of me coming out? Probably. I just keep thinking who on earth would be interested in what I am saying.
We are due to meet literacy subject leaders and will promote the blog with them. I don’t mind doing this as this was the audience that I originally blogged for. Google analytics shows me that not many are visiting. I need to talk to them about why this is and what we can do about it. Should be an interesting discussion.
