It does surprise me, though, that it has taken me so long to use a list to organize this blog. Two lists, actually. One list gives a little more order and structure to the blog, and the other list sub-categorizes the first list with potential topic ideas for each one. Don't you just love the word "sub-categorize"?
Anyway, after sitting down this morning and brainstorming for a while, this is the format I've come up with (subject to change, of course).
Blog Topic Ideas
- Three posts per week minimum – additional posts as interesting things happen :)
- Week 1
- Monday: New/feature product (mine)
- Wednesday: DIY
- Friday: Shop Feature
- Week 2
- Monday: Food
- Wednesday: Fun list/book review/other
- Friday: Shop Feature
- Repeat
Did you notice how I'm really into bullets, sub-bullets, and bolding things?
I won't post my ideas list now; you'll just have to keep coming back to see what kinds of ideas I've come up with for each category. At this point, I think I've come up with at good month's worth of ideas, which should be helpful because right now, I'm lucky if I know what's going to be written next week.
I'll admit, other than the gratification of making a list and organizing, the ulterior motive here is to make my blog more consistent and higher quality to increase view numbers and build a more solid reader base. Any thoughts on the categories or opinions on whether you'd like to see anything else? Do these look interesting enough to keep readers coming back?
Lists are really satisfying, aren't they? I've never managed to get my blog organized in any way (other than creating a separate recipe page). I admire those bloggers who are able to stick to a schedule. I'm just too scatterbrained for that!

hahaha! I write things I have done on my to do list and cross them off, too! LOL! Lists are an awesome way of keeping track of life ;-)
