TODAY’S QUESTIONS
How organised are you when it comes to blogging? Do you have a blog schedule or do you play it by the ear? I used to have a sort of schedule. My mornings are usually the same…wake up, let the dog out, feed the dog, feed the guinea pigs, make coffee, then sit and blog. Most recently I have been sitting down to make miniatures before blogging, which has left me a little out of the loop. I went to bed last night telling myself that I would blog before anything else today. It feels good. Almost like I am at work with my coworkers…My WP Coworkers!
How often do you’ tidy up’ your blog? e.g. go through your Drafts Folder, or go through old posts checking for broken links etc.? I don’t really go through my drafts folder and all that because most of my blog posts either get posted or go directly to trash. Right now, I do have some items to sort through, but the only reason to do it now is because it has been brought up. Every other week maybe I go through and try to put posts under the correct headings in my menu. I figure that way if I want to find something I just click on the category, and voila! Other than that I try to keep things neat all the time. I can say that I finally found a “theme” that I actually like. Not sure how long that will last. Usually six months and I am ready for something new. I have wanted to ask people..Is there an easier way than going into “customize”, etc. to move posts under their related categories? I do put the tags and all that, but I have to manually move them if I want them to pop up when I click on the menu.

I feel the same way. I am not working these days and miss the carmaraderie of my colleagues. Blogging helps !

I just analyzed all my blog posts and finally have a sense of organization. In creating a paper chart of my posts, I took all my categories (which were attached when published), then charted them into one of four groups. Next, I created a navigation bar on my site. Under “Blog”, I made a drop down, click on file for the four groups. Now, my posts automatically file themselves! Good luck!

Linda, how do they file themselves? I have the dropdown, the tags, everything…I must be missing something!

I would suggest emailing Word Press support. It could be some simple little thing they could tell you.
