Using the Web
I am not starting this post by talking about how long I have been using the web. It’s focus is on the wonderful people around the world who out of a desire to teach, instruct, make clearer and inform the rest of us by their writing even if they don’t know us spend a lot of time and effort creating those things we read online and make using the web what it is. That’s what I am celebrating today.
I know that many people write judiciously because they have a desire to impart knowledge and I also know that a lot more write because they are paid to do so, whatever the motivation, those people that create these content are the ones that make it a thing of joy to launch our browsers and point the address bar to some favorite webpage or blog or news site.
Running a Blog
I have tried to maintain this blog for some two years now trying to write a post each month as a minimum and I know that I can do better than I am doing once I focus on the area of interest and strength.
That has been the greatest challenge one so great that last month came and went and I did not write a single post.
Since I have the experience of running a site and the challenges that come with it, I know that those that generate content every day either just have so much to say that they can spew out a thousand words every day or they have support from other people who help move over the lean times though this is for those websites that are run by individuals.
Now this is not just to lament but to express some of the things I have been learning and hope to put into practice as time moves on. I have been looking at the websites I visit regularly to have a feel for the work they are doing from the back-end/ preparation perspective, to the tools they use to minimize distraction and maximize writing time.
Some automate everything such that once the content is created and proof-read, the posting process is seamless and easy that end result make the effort a simple one.
I have been learning to use some of those tools and trying to improve my process but it seems that I still go back to the “mechanical” way of doing things every time I take a break from the process.
I still hope for the time I will be able to post new content four times a month as starters but I will not despise the days of small beginnings. Not yet, especially when I consider everything.
