5) Organize your blog posts
By Bryce A RaleyI’m am doing this as we speak.
How about this system?
- Pick 5 or 6 Main Categories- Make them fairly broad or else you’ll be tempted to create a new category every time you encounter something just outside the Main 5 or 6. Show them multiple places on your blog.
- Use your tags to liberally to tell the world what your post is about. Don’t do it in a spammy way. For instance, the tag fantasy football has nothing to do with this post. Nor does the tag batching even though it’s one of my favorite things to discuss.
- Make sure you pick a category, sometimes two if there is overlap, every time you post.
- Add good descriptive tags each time you post.
- Add a tag cloud to a few places on your blog so readers can really delve into the stuff they are interested in. I would love it if Tim Ferris had this on his blog. I love to read his posts. I like his categories, but I would love to be able to read everything he’s written that was tagged with batching or elimination or minimalism.
Just my opinion. I’m cleaning up my categories on this blog right after this ……
