A Minimum Viable Blog?
Posted on Jun 06, 2014 by Mike Nuttall
Random daily thoughts of a web developer
This is not sustainable!
Writing an in depth journal entry every day unless you have all day to do it. I don't have all day, I have other things to do, like work that gets me paid!
Who's idea was this anyway?
From now on I will be completing only a Minimum Viable Blog.
What's a Minimum Viable Blog?
It's a blog that will consist of enough sentences to stop the table below bumping up to the 100 blog posts in 100 days graphic.
And I will continue to report back on what has occupied my day.
This approach does, however, risk getting penalties from Google's algorithm as my posts may look like thin content*
What the hell, lets live dangerously!
*Thin content: pages that are shallow, without much useful information, and don't offer much value to readers.
A web developer's lot.
What have I been doing today?
| 6 hours 18 minutes | A personal project with lots of jQuery |
| 1 hour 16 minute | This website, reading blog posts, obsessively checking rankings, updating blog posts |
| 1 hour 1 minute | Email and social media |
Total: 8 hours 35 minutes
Made quite good progress with my project, but found it a little hard to concentrate at times.
Exercise: None, oh dear!
Tomorrow: Batch writing blog posts to get ahead of the game.
