<\/a><\/p>\nFor those (like me) who have so much that needs improvement, they don’t know where to start. <\/p>\n
It’s funny that that resolution came up (after several clicks on the “GIMME MORE” button), because I had already started this post about resolving to add to my blog more often\/regularly. I’ve got a backlog of about 40 or so draft posts waiting to be finished & published (even after weeding through them a few weeks back), plus a number of others that I’ve got in my head and collected supporting files, links & images on my drive for… After giving this issue some thought, it seems that I get stuck most often because I’m trying to be too thorough in what I assemble for a post. Maybe I need to think of this blog as more of a step above a Tweet or a Facebook Status post than any kind of journalistic endeavor, because a journalist I am not. <\/p>\n
If I check Google Analytics or Sitemeter<\/a> to see what brings people to my site, it’s usually for the somewhat random stuff I’ve posted about in the past, like the Citroen 2CV Rat Rod<\/a> that I know next to nothing about, or fixing the instrument cluster on the Plymouth van<\/a> we no longer own, or wiring the trailer lights on our Ford Freestar van<\/a>. A few people jump here directly, but lately more people are interested in how I painted my BMW with a roller<\/a> than what I think about the latest political development… I don’t expect this blog to ever be anything more than just a hobby for me, so it really shouldn’t matter whether people hit my site directly or via a search engine. If I spend several hours composing a post in order to share my two cents’ worth on a given topic, it really doesn’t do much more than get it off my chest. So maybe in the big scheme of things — in blogging anyway — less is more.<\/p>\n So, I’m off to get a cup of coffee to tip my cup to this new resolution, and to get me past my post-lunch slump.
