I’m taking a summer break for the month of August and will return on Monday 5 September.
However, if I can get the plug-in working to my satisfaction, I hope to recycle some old posts over this period. These will go out on social media but it’s possible they will not appear in weekly round-up emails. If you find them, feel free to comment on these posts, especially if you can spot anything dated in them. As they appear I’ll make an effort to bring them up to date.
Website Improvements
As always I intend to use the quiet time to review and improve my website. Most of it is becoming dated and it would be good to describe my consultancy business more effectively.
I don’t know how far I’ll get with this but I intend to complete some tidying, if not writing entirely new copy.
The other thing I want to do is showcase Thrive themes more effectively. Their themes and plug-ins are constantly developing and I am aware my site hardly does them justice. If you want to look at their offer, scroll down to the very bottom of any page and click on the link. Remember, this is an affiliate link.
Future Blog Sequences
I’m fairly happy with my routine posts and so I shall continue with the MWF pattern, as follows:
Mondays
I completed the third element of the Circuit Questionnaire, companion posts last Monday. You can review the first two elements, on the Circuit Questionnaire page. I shall add in the third element, Proposition, posts in the near future.
So, in September I shall start on the fourth element, Problem and then move on to the fifth and last element, Market. There is about 30 weeks worth of material to go, so I haven’t given any thought to what follows afterwards.
Wednesdays
This day is where I cover sequences apart from the Circuit Questionnaire. Earlier this year I completed a long sequence about Spirituality and I have not yet completed the post summary on this page.
Since then I have completed a sequence about In-Person Techniques (the last one was two days ago) and I will prepare a page some time soon that summarises these posts.
I have two ideas for future Wednesday posts and haven’t decided which to publish first.
I want to write about self-employment and its contribution to the local economy. In this sequence I shall explore work / life balance in various ways and the contributions self-employed people make to both work and life.
The second sequence I have in mind is the contribution marketing makes to community development. Businesses don’t just contribute finance to local economies but perhaps we’re a little slow to appreciate all they do and could contribute.
Fridays
I write my Friday posts during the week before and the idea is they can be more topical. I sometimes use them to review books, resources or websites. At other times I comment on some issue that has come to my attention. I’m hoping to find time to review more material about co-production, for example.
This is your opportunity to suggest issues you would like me to write about. Suggest a topic and if I haven’t already written about it, I’ll have a go (within reason).
Guest Posts
Just a quick reminder, I’m happy to write guest posts for other sites and welcome relevant guest posts on this site. If you are an expert in a related area to my posts, please contact me and we’ll see what we can do together.
