A Green Mushroom

I decided to participate in Blaugust this year for the first time in a few years.  My intention is to write 1-2 posts per week.  I don't have the time in my day to day life for daily blogging at the moment, but I thought this might be a nice blogging jumpstart after being dormant since the end of last year. Also, it really feels more important than ever to have your own little piece of the internet that you control.  With everything going on with social media lately, I thought it would be a good chance to look at this blog again with fresh eyes. The first thing that immediately jumped out to me was that my blog's website theme isn't really up to modern standards.  It was still serving up a different specific mobile site, and that's just not how things are done anymore.  I decided it was time for a new theme. For reference, I'm still using Google Blogger.  WordPress is actually the better toolset for owning and customizing your own blog-like site... but I us...

Blaugust was awesome, but seven days per week of posts feels like too much for me at the moment. I'm going to move back to my regularly scheduled posts on weekdays only.  Knowing I have 2 days off each week in nice, especially because I'm sampling less games at the moment. This is just a quick post after all the awesome content creation that was Blaugust.  Regularly scheduled posts begin now!

Wow, what a month.   Blaugust was awesome! 31 posts in 31 days is a tall order, but so many bloggers have risen to the challenge. I ended up working ahead and scheduling posts out in advance, but I know there are a lot of the bloggers who diligently wrote posts every day. Congrats everyone!  We made it!  We made so much content and had a great time building our community! This was a fantastic event.  Thanks so much to Belghast  for organizing it and helping it along throughout the month.  It wouldn't have happened without him. Thanks everyone who participated.  We made it!  You guys all rock!

If you haven't noticed, I've been on a bit of a post streak.  I started posting every day sometime in December and I kept it going for about four months. It was a really good exercise and I had fun doing it, but in the past week or so I've felt like I can't quite keep up the pace.  I don't want writing to become a chore, because I really enjoy it right now. So, I'm going to try moving to a 5 day per week post schedule.  I've noticed that my posts on the weekends don't get read as much anyway, so I'm going to try to aim for a post each weekday.  Except for April 1st.  No one takes anything serious on that day and it's right around the corner. Anyway, I'm giving myself permission to skip posting on weekends if I don't feel like it.  You might still get 7 posts per week, but I'm not going to hold myself to it.  We'll see how 5 days per week feels for me going forward. That's it for housekeeping.  Expect a return to your n...
