How Not To Blog
Posted on Thursday, August 10th, 2006
It looks like I have failed almost instantly in my first experience in blogging. I have disregarded tips about blogging that have been set down for years and not to my surprise, found that only 4 people visited this site yesterday. If you are reading this, then I apologise for not posting anything for a whole week and I promise that I will rectify this situation starting from now.
I would love to set myself a proper goal for how often I am going to post, but I am so hectic at the moment that I cannot promise anything (especially nothing quite as severe as this). However, you can certainly expect to see more posts appearing here in the near future.
In fact, I’ve just thought of something I need to write about, better finish off what I was supposed to be doing before I started writing this post so I can write another!

Yvonne Says:I don’t mean to sound harsh, but you might want to try toning down the bright blue on your blog - it’s kind of overpowering, and some text is hard to read.

Phil Says:Yvonne, thanks for commenting! Do you have any suggestions for a colour to use instead? I’ll come up with some ideas soon (in fact, you’ve already got me thinking about completely new designs!) but was wondering if you had any in mind?

Yvonne Says:Well, I really like your design, Phil. Keep the blue by all means, if you really like it - just try and throw a few more colours in! I like the dark blue you’ve used for your own comment background, and your navigation bar.
Maybe you could make your links a different shade of blue? That would make them nicer to read :)

Easton Ellsworth Says:The more posts, the merrier, so long as they’re still worth reading. I’m glad you don’t intend to place any PEZ dispensers on the line :).

Phil Says:Yvonne: More colours?! You don’t know what I went through deciding whether to give half the comments grey backgrounds!
I do have something planned though, so watch out, there should be a new feature tomorrow.
Easton: I hope you think my posts so far have been worthwhile, even though they aren’t necessarily your topic of interest.
Maybe I will be willing to risk something on my blogging in the future, but it’s still all shiny and new for me at the moment. And I only have one PEZ dispenser too, http://static.flickr.com/53/15.....c4.jpg?v=0 , hardly Yoda anyway!
