Blog Odds and Ends...

Well, today, I F-I-N-A-L-L-Y got around to creating my first post about hiking (see here and here).

Talk about a relief.

While I am pleased with the results, I know that I can do better with subsequent posts.

For now, I am just happy with the post containing a narrative about my hike, a map to orient the reader, and some photos taken during my hike.

The posts will get better as I learn more about how to use Blogger as well as how to do things using HTML.

Like I wrote earlier, I have a backlog of posts that I intend to write about.

Anyway, it was just great to convert the URL for the blog post into a TinyURL and then post the link to my Facebook account for people to click on.

Guess what? It worked. I had the most views to my blog in a long, long time.

Speaking of learning more about how to use Blogger...

There are more items to explore that I can use to improve my blog.

Examples right off the top of my head include:

• Filling in the gaps of my profile.
• Adding more URLs of blogs that I like. [Note: It has been a L-O-N-G time since I have read any blogs on a consistent basis.]
• Learning more about how to use HTML.
• Adding more local content to my blog. [Note: The local blogs that I have seen aren't very good.]
• Working on my backlog of posts that have been simmering in my head for the past couple of years.
• Not being afraid to make any mistakes with my blog, yet striving to be accurate and detail-oriented.
• Writing more posts!!!

That's just off the top of my head.

I am sure that I will have more ideas tomorrow on how to improve my blog.

That's it for now.
