Now as I find myself involved with more projects, I need to re-structure my time (unless someone can find me an extra hour a day to work). It was a good run though. Honestly, I'm surprised that I maintained this pace for so long. The blog was meant to be my little experiment and foray into the Web 2.0 world to catalog my personal thoughts and learning.
So after much consideration, I will be moving from a Monday-Friday schedule to a Tues and Friday model. Whenever I encounter interesting resources, I will post them on an intermittent, unscheduled basis. This contradicts the teachings that one can only gain blog followers with a very regular schedule, but then that was never my goal. So here is the schedule, based on popularity trends that I have noticed:
- Tuesday: Tricks of the Trade tips
- Friday: Paucis Verbis cards
I still welcome readers to contribute ideas, tricks, and Paucis Verbis cards. Often these get more internet traffic than my own posts!
It seems as though there must be an elegant solution out there to unite the Emergency Medicine academic blog community - since I do agree, once you have a following, there's a little pressure to regularly produce. It must be the mark of success that your free time is evaporating, of course - so presumably, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a tough decision since I love writing the blog. But alas this doesn't really count as "academic time" at work. I'm not sure I'm "successful" at this blogging thing, but at least I'm enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy reading it, well I certainly do.
ReplyDeleteI've learnt a handful of things from your blog. Thank you so much.
I can't imagine how you've managed to find the time to blog everyday.
I certainly do agree, it marks success!! Congrats.
how about reposting/republishing mon, wed, friday from prior years? Demian
ReplyDeleteHmm, intriguing idea. Let me think about how to do this. Great idea!
