One Month

Today marks the one month anniversary of me making daily updates on both my blogs, but don’t worry, I don’t expect you to throw me a party or buy me a special present (although it would be nice).  It’s not really that impressive a feat, but I’ve never done it before, and, since this is my blog, I’m entitled to celebrate it.  Although, ‘celebrate’ might be a strong a word.  It has to be said though that daily updates have been a positive thing, not only because of all the extra writing that I’ve got done, but because of the impact it has had on my blog hits.  Daily blogging for just half of August led to my hits tripling (see here for details), and that’s not to be sniffed at.  Not that I blog purely for hits, but it is nice to know that someone is actually reading this rubbish.

The original plan was for me to post  here and over on The World of Sherby57 on alternate days, with 3-4 posts a week being a pretty healthy amount of updates.  Then I thought that I could do occasional, shorter posts on the off-days using the WordPress iPhone app.  Those occasional posts have ended up being daily, and I can’t help but feel that I’ve made a rod for my own back.  This can be seen over the last couple of days, with the rather shoddy ‘Out and About‘, and a rather lacklustre account of Liverpool’s match against Burnley.   That said, my good friend, Dr Angel, thinks that car park blogging is a great idea, so maybe it wasn’t a complete waste of time.  I might start a new mobile blogging feature where I review the many car parks of Great Britain.  Then, eventually, I could compile them in to a book, and I can make my fortune.  Well, everybody has to have a dream.

This week is going to be a challenge as I usually stock up on a few posts over the weekend, but this week, having been busy, the cupboard is bare.  I’m thinking of a few plans on how to get round this, but perhaps I should consider missing a few days, just to get it out of the way.  Stay tuned and see what happens.
