Halfway through project52

This week marks the half way point of project52, so here’s a list of everything I’ve wrote in the last six months. If you’re new to the site then perhaps you will find something of interest.

Project 52 relaunched

It looks like I’m a little late in discovering the news that project52, which I’m currently taking part in, has been relaunched. Incase you are unaware of what project52 actually is, it is a challenege that bloggers can take up where they will publish one blog post a week for a year.

Initially the challenge was to run from 1st of January 2010 – 1st January 2011. However, upon checking the website today I have discovered that the project has been restarted as of today, St. Patrick’s Day. It appears to me that they are looking for everyone to wipe the slate clean and start again.

However, I feel that this a little unfair on those of us who were more than ready for the start of the year and have so far managed to publish a blog post every week. I have therefore decided to take the decision that I will be continuing as I had originally planned and I will finish on the proposed date of 1st of January 2011.

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 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.
