TODAY’S QUESTIONS;
How organized are you when it comes to blogging? Do you have a blog schedule or do you play it by the ear?
Though I am not a stickler for schedules, I am pretty well organized regarding the postings on my blog. I post three posts daily and they are pre-scheduled to be posted every day. I usually write them the day before and schedule them. Sometimes if I have free time, I schedule posts for a couple of days in advance.
As far as my two prompts are concerned, those too are pre-planned and are scheduled at least a couple of days ahead.
How often do you’ tidy up’ your blog? e.g. go through your Drafts Folder, or go through old posts checking for broken links, etc.?
I do keep on going through my drafts and whenever I get time and inspiration, I complete them and post them as and when appropriate. I have never checked my old posts for broken links etc! I didn’t know that I was supposed to do that.
And this question also reminds me that I should tidy up my site. I haven’t touched it since at least a year. The reason is quite simple. I blog solely from my phone and for organizing, I’d need to go to my site via my laptop. Call me lazy or phobic, but I avoid doing that on all sorts of excuses. But I must do it sooner rather than later.
Maybe have a new header image or rearrange the menu or just refresh in general.
Thank you Tanya, for hosting this series and keeping the conversation going.

I always enjoy reading blogging insights, Sadje and Tanya. Interesting about checking for broken links. One thing I should do is put some sort of copyright note on my blog. I did a mini research on this once and I was led down a rabbit hole. Thank you again for your insights. Erica

Thanks Erica, the copyright note should be on the blog. I should do it too. Some bloggers have it on every post. Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts

I saw a copyright note once on only the “About page.” I have read advice from other bloggers to put it somewhere………two years later I am still mulling it

Organizing?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I try, I really do… but life has a way of demanding my attention and, well… “Go with the flow” seems to work best for me😁💕

Your dedication is inspiring Sadje! I realized some time ago that it’s more frustrating than rewarding for me personally to be ultra organized, but I try to at least keep things timely. I put a “widget’ on my blog that contains a copyright disclaimer, and I think it shows up on each blog. Good for you for keeping things so tidy on your site, that’s a talent and I hope you’re proud of it! ☺

Thanks Melanie. I will look for that widget. I am happy about being organized regarding my posts. The rest I don’t stress about as it never helps. But I will one of these days! ❤️🙏

Thats very organised. I just write and post when inspired. I have three blogs and currently i try to post twice a week. Any more is a bonus😂 i had no idea about broken links. If you google copy right wording WordPress, you get example to use.

I’d best not organise as it’s going to go badly.

Broken links in old posts… do people really do that? I never would have thought to check such a thing. I do need to update my blog I think… it has been a long time since I have done any of my own photography on a regular basis. Thanks for the reminder to clean up.

I haven’t ever checked up on broken links on my posts. I think I would need a whole week to just update my site.
