I've just noticed that it's been over a week since my last post. In and of itself, that isn't an issue. There are no schedules here; I have no binding commitments to theAdhocracy. Entire months or years could pass between posts and I wouldn't bat an eyelid (though, I hope, I would feel a little sad). Instead, the lack of a post is noteworthy because I've actually been writing content consistently for the last four days, as well as a couple of days last week. That content isn't still stuck in draft form, it's all fully edited and ready to ship (so to speak). In my mind it's actually finished, archived and filed away as a completed job well done. So the reality that no one else can see these posts genuinely struck me as a little odd. This scenario is not one I had really considered when I started my monthly media roundups, but I guess, in hindsight, it can't really be avoided. One large post a month may have to substitute for more regular content - right now I don't have a solution, except to make sure my posted content is more varied.
One clear way to increase the throughput to the visible side of theAdhocracy would be to utilise micropublishing, effectively pulling in any facebook posts, RSS likes, instagram/Flickr photos etc. and cataloguing them all here. But, oh no! Once again I've stumbled into the indie web without any preparation. I wrote about my headaches with the learning curve associated with the indie web before. What I didn't realise then was that the very person I'd "called out" in that post had already created what I was asking for: a more simplified, step-by-step guide to getting started on the indie web. So that's awesome (and, once again, thank you Jeremy Keith!). Now to just find some time to play around with the suggestions. Oh and get my back end in shape first. Plus, maybe tidy up how my current categories work. I mean I'm not stalling at all...
