Project 52

Last week I signed up to this new idea called project 52. For those of you who do not know what this is about

Project52 is a personal challenge geared toward getting fresh content on your website. The goal is to write at least 1 new article per week for 1 year. Because we all know what it‘s like to procrastinate on our content. A website is not just a fresh design that can be uploaded to the web and forgotten about!

Writing is something that I wish I could do a lot more of but for some reason or another it just always seems to go on the back burner. If I’m being honest, I think the reason that I don’t publish regular content on this site is because my grasp of the English language is poor. I’m still not really sure how I managed to write my fourth year University dissertation.

Another reason that I don’t publish content to this blog as often as I would like is because I try to make this blog tailored more towards what I do, instead of just talking about myself and what I’ve been up to. I just don’t think that anyone would be particularly interested in reading about what I have been up to. However of late I’ve started to change my thinking. It’s 2010 next year (which is a pretty cool number) and next year is already shaping up to be quite an important year for myself. Therefore why shouldn’t I write about what I’ve been getting up to?

So how will I tackle project 52? I think it’s probably going to be easier to do if I use a structure for each month, although this may change by the time 1st January rolls around. My structure might follow something like this

  • A tutorial post
  • A discussion post about the web
  • A guest blogger
  • A monthly round-up with next months goals

If you’re interested to see how I fair, why don’t you follow my RSS feed and see if I’ve been able to tackle this task I’ve set myself. If this sounds like your cup of tea and fancy giving it a go then sign up to the site and get the ball rolling so that you have a few ideas by the time that the New Year comes around.

  1. I’ve been thinking about taking part in this as well, I definitely want to do more writing. Lucky for me, I don’t mind posting about my life and things like gaming or music. I might just do this!

    Good luck with your posts mate! I’ll be reading them :D

    Sounds interesting, I might give it a go.

    Saying that, I doubt I’d have anything that interesting to say/the time to actually do it. I’ll see…

    Hey Nick, don’t be daft. I’m sure you’ve got plenty to say, doesn’t have to be about web based stuff. Writing down your opinions on life is just as interesting. Let me know if you decide to go ahead with it or not.
