My project management blog is 6 months old

It has been 6 months since I started this blog “project”

Time for a progress review

What has been achieved?

  • Typical Blog Site in place using WordPress and 9 plugins
  • 30 posts published. Common post format developed
  • 2 categories established which seems appropriate
  • 1 comment received and processed
  • Self taught using books and the internet

What have I learned?

  • Images are not free (most expensive item)
  • SEO is encouraged (basic recommendations followed)
  • There are associated services (gravatar, web analytics tool, Google search console)
  • Accessible via other websites (links on my LinkedIn and Twitter profiles)
  • Comments were being blocked by a plugin added by the website Host

Plan for next 6 months?

  • At least 10 new posts
  • Consider expanding existing posts with more detail and storytelling (to more than 100 words)
  • If appropriate, ask ex-work colleagues for comments
  • Start monitoring visitors (to understand web analytics tool)
  • Finalise the privacy policy
  • Read and comment on similar topic blogs by others
  • Possibly ask a website expert to review and make recommendations

    I would like to hear more about some difficult situations you have had to navigate in your role as a project manager.
