Back on the Editorial Calendar

Have you ever had a situation where you know the right thing to do, but hesitate to make it happen? This has been my situation with respect to maintaining my several social media profiles. These aren't paid gigs, mind you. I've been weening myself from Social Media; but, don't really want to leave those properties hanging without updates. 

Yet, that's exactly what I've done. The proper thing to do would be to create an editorial calendar where I pick themes for certain days, weeks, or months, depending on the site. Basically, you schedule the subjects in advance so that you don't have to break your head thinking about what to write. 

So, with the help of Hootsuite, it is easy to schedule posts in advance. It is very easy and preferable to schedule posts because it frees you up to spend your time doing stuff that pays during working hours. You can devote the less busy hours to cramming posts in advance. 

Thus, I find myself scheduling posts for March 2014, tonight.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...
