I've been in a bit of a jam on this blog thing. I like the idea and the medium, but I'm having trouble keeping up a regular publishing routine. Any preference ? Short, casual posts or better prepared, deep content with lots of pics and links ?
I was thinking of adding a footer to my yahoo emails that would perhaps bring some new eyeballs here, but I am a little reluctant without increasing the frequency of new content. Anyone have any brainy ideas on how to monitor a web site (like my blog) for updates ? [Actually I just found a few - changenotes.com, changedetection.com and timelyweb.com] Or do I just send out a mass reminder to a reader list when I post something new - but doesn't that defeat the purpose a little ?
I've got quite a long list of topics that hopefully you'll find interesting, but my little perfectionist sidekick on my shoulder says I've got to keep the quality up - hence the spontaneity conflict of the posts.
I could always draw on my vast collection of inner thoughts (well a few anyway) or past stories (e.g. the Lads saga - I can hear the oh-nos already) !
I've been writing this blog since 2005. I have had a number of content specific blogs in the past, but decided in 2013 to consolidate them all back into PJMixer. You'll find photo projects, movie reviews, new music and general thoughts about my life.

Hi Cuz,
When you've time, drop a note or two. When you haven't - don't worry.
I don't hit your blog every day and I love your work. I'm happy to read anything you put up regardless of how regular you are (cue ar*e gag's).
Just like the Betta - go with the flow PJ.

I'm with Cuz.
Whatever and whenever. It's a nice procrastination tool for me to check out once in a while.

As you can see, after a year I have not really made the effort. I tend to like the idea of it more than the doing of it. However you may inspire me.
