When Ray announced that Idolminded was going on hiatus, one of the things that popped in my head was “ok, I guess I’m not going to be getting views.” I don’t want to sound like I’m doing it for the views or reads, or anything like that, but it is something I pay attention to, and I know that the vast amount of my views come from Idolminded (though one time a Japanese music writer linked me, that was pretty cool). <\/p>\n
That said, it got me to thinking about how I’m running my blog, especially since I’m at the point where I’m doing a retail job waiting for a real one. Early this year I described a new Happy Disco, one with regular content on a schedule. And I failed pretty miserably. To be absolutely fair, that was my fault for getting ambitious while working on my last semester of college and my final thesis. But I digress. <\/p>\n
Here’s the plan for what I’m going to try to do from here on out. <\/p>\n
1. New Banner – I’ve had this one for some time and it’s time for something fresh. <\/p>\n
2. Smaller, more frequent posts. I think my biggest issue is my long-windedness, and while I think that’s something I do well (I cover things in-depth) it’s also a flaw that prevents me from being a better blogger. I’m going to work on this. <\/p>\n
3. A schedule. Here’s what I have in mind so far. <\/p>\n
Monday – Review Mondays – I review an album, release, whatever. It can be present, past, whatever I want. <\/p>\n
Wednesday – Idol Thoughts. This is a new segment I’ve been thinking of for a while. Every week I’ll post a thought about the idol industry, a group, what have you, and I’ll write something about it. Throughout the week I’ll encourage people to write in and contribute their own ideas in the comments and on Facebook\/twitter. Then, next Wednesday, I’ll make a post compiling common\/interesting answers. Hopefully this will work out, because this is something I’m excited about!<\/p>\n
Friday – TIFriday. I’m going to finish up my TIF posts, finally, profiling the groups. After I finish this I’ll come up with something else to fill up the timeslot.<\/p>\n
If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment! I’m excited to see where this takes off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
