A New Year and a Fresh Start

Published on January 1, 2008 2 CommentsPrint This Post Print This Post

The start of a new year! Simply-Basic.com has only existed for four months, and I’m very pleased with the way things have been going. Maintaining a blog is demanding. Regular updates requires a significant amount of time. For example, I’m traveling for this week and next, so I’m posting this from my new PDA running Windows Mobile 6. It’s a cumbursome undertaking, yet weeks with unexplained updates will lose a good portion of regular readers.

Since the new year is beginning, it’s the perfect time to set some goals for Simply-Basic.com. And since unspoken goals rarely ever get acomplished, here are my goals for Simply-Basic.com for 2008:

  • create a mobile-friendly version of the blog
  • finish tweaking the theme layout
  • create a few lengthy tutorials that take place in muliple parts (series)
  • increase blog exposure and the number of RSS subscribers by creating quality content
  • interview at least three people (bloggers, website owners, and others)

These are just some of the goals I have for the coming year. I look forward to many more late nights writing articles and updating the blog. Thanks to everyone who visits and reads and comments on the articles. I look forward to a wonderful year!

    I love the idea of the mobile friendly version - once you get it running - let us know how you did it. I had seen a plugin that made a version for the iphone.

    @Matt That’s a great idea! I’m planning on working on it once I’m done traveling in another week. Once I get something figured out I’ll write up an article about how I did it.
