I
know I got overly busy at the end of this year, and had to go on
hiatus during the Christmas season. I will try to get a few ahead, so
that we don't have to take a number of weeks off at the end of the
year. We may also start doing some bicycle related stuff, as that was
part of the original concept here. There may be a couple of those
over the winter, but expect that to get going more once bicycle
season returns, which around here is April to May. I need to get all
the bicycles tuned up, and get riding again.
The
plan is to plan articles 2 months ahead, and then writing them a
month ahead, so it only takes a short while on a weekly basis to
post, and if I have something like a vacation coming up, or a busy
period, I can queue a few weeks up, and let the scheduler sort them
out. I might consider an income mechanism, either ads on the site or
a Patreon, like mechanism. This would allow me some investment, like
a domain, and would allow me to put more time into it, and to write
longer articles with more detail.
This
past year was kind of a failure, I got going again, and then went on
hiatus, because I was not prepared for what was going to happen at
the end of the year. Mistakes are not the problem, it’s when you
don’t learn from your mistakes, that you have a problem. What I
learned was that the weeks leading up to Christmas can be extremely
busy, both personally and at work, so you need a lead time, to get
stuff done. In order to prevent those same issues in 2018, I have
planned articles to the beginning of February at this point, and
would like to get planned up to the beginning of March this week, get
January 7th in the bag, and January 14th
outlined. January 7th will be about shooting when there
is snow about. I really would also like articles to be longer, at
least 400 words, a few in 2017 fell far short of that.

In
case your wondering, I actually write the text using LibreOffice,
which has better spell checking, and
text tools. I then do the images separately and have them ready, so
I can pump the whole thing into Blogger, from a couple of files, then
the only issue is to do the layout and it’s done.
This weeks image is an old favourite from back in 2003, it's a winter shot on film, I think using the TC as it's originally from a colour negative.
Hope you had a merry Christmas, and all the best in 2018!
