Rest
Rest. Review. And Revise. That’s where I’m at right now with this photo blog. 20 posts are in the books – or the web . I planned to take a break at 12 to evaluate the site but I was having too much fun. This is a time to Rest. Review. And Revise the site.
Learning WordPress
Learning WordPress was daunting. It took almost 2 months to publish a half-decent post. Plenty of mistakes were made along the way. I still don’t have a good grasp of templates, patterns, designs, etc. No clue about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Oblivious to intentionally designed site structure, and the importance of external and internal links. This is an area that requires me to rest, review, and revise my approach. There is much more to learn.
Review and Revise
I’m learning a lot about SEO from Yoast. Posts are being reviewed and revised as a result. Next is revising the site structure to align with proper SEO configuration. Metadata, what’s that? This process of Rest. Review. And Revise will help tremendously. I’m also changing the writing structure of future posts. Blog writing 101 didn’t exist when I attended school in the 80s.
Expectations
Moving ahead, the interested reader can expect a well-written and well-designed post. It will be supported by relevant and high-quality images. I want these posts to be a sparkling gem that shows up in your inbox. I want it to be worth your time to experience. Something that’s not junk mail, ads, invoices, and political detritus.
My goal is to present 2 posts a week; A weekend magazine style article with artistic, high-quality, supporting images. Topics may include: travel, photography, art, geology, natural science, and other related subjects.
Another post will come out mid-week. It will be like receiving a Post Card from a friend – Digital instead of Analog. The Post Card will be a single image and a short description. Just like the old days.
