@Extreme, yeah, I don’t think it’s a bad plugin, just didn’t cotton to it.

I’ll try it again sometime.

Hey Dave thank you for the link luv, I can't believe you didn't like the plugin? I just scheduled a post showing my love for it, it's cut my posting time in half. .-= Extreme John´s last blog ..Yahoo Meme the Lonley World =-.

@Blake, heh… yeah, Website In A Weekend is a long story. There was supposed to be seminar… there may be one in the future… we’ll see.

Having a “weekly review” is an excellent exercise for creating a template. Enough structure to help create articles, enough flexibility to be unique. Check out Holly Jahangiri’s and DiTesco’s formats as well as mine.

Cool stuff, I never really thought about how using a template like that could make posting quicker and easier. I really like the idea of using a template for a warp-up/week in review. What are some other types of posts that you use templates on?

Which makes me think… how is it a website in a weekend if you post during the week? :-)

@Sean, @Walter –

You guys are smart!

I do this stuff because it “seems like the right thing to do.” Going on gut about half the time. Don’t even know why what I’m doing is right, I can just feel it.

Anyone else have any other benefits?

Readers benefit as well from posts that are better organized and more clearly communicate the topic matter. .-= Walter´s last blog ..In Search of the Next Boom: Cleantech =-.

The added benefit of this is that it will help organize your thoughts about your writing subject. .-= Sean´s last blog ..New Art Hot Off The Press =-.
