Updates

My web site has been around only for a few months, and I’ve got a lot of content on stuff that interests me, and hopefully one or two things that interest you?
I’ve also got a checklist of things to do.

Moving To WordPress
Moving to WordPress has been a huge job. I must not have done it right, because it moved everything over – but it didn’t move ANYONE over who was subscribed to the blog! I can’t read and comment on your blog, if you don’t subscribe to this one!

I installed All In One SEO, and that has almost doubled the time it takes to get a blog post on-line. What is it? It is a Search Engine Optimization tool that allows me to enter meta-data for use with anyone copying an article to Facebook or Twitter, and also for what shows up in Google. The good part of All In One is I’m able to get myself higher in the search engines that way. The bad part is – it takes almost as much time to enter keywords and meta descriptions as it does to write the post! I still need to go back and add Meta’s to about 60% of my blog articles. How will anyone find my ramblings on Godzilla if I don’t’?

Adding Images
I’ve finally started getting images entered for every blog post. That was something I was delaying, because pure and simple, it adds yet another 5 minutes of work per blog post. When I once had a hobby blog, I could just write it up in Windows Live Writer and post away! Now, I write it in Scrivener, copy and paste to the website later on, tweak the formatting, enter keywords, enter SEO Keywords and Meta tags, and NOW I have to add an image!
Oh well. That’s what professionals have to do!

Photo Session
Need to get some photographs of myself on the website, and edit the website header image to include a picture of me. Not for me, I know what I look like, but it’s the professional thing to do. Done!

Social Media
So far, I’ve got my Twitter account set up. Still need a Facebook and LinkedIn.

These are my big to-do’s… what’s yours?
