Setting up a posting schedule has always been a bit of a pain, even before the blogs were combined. As you can tell by the multitude of model horse posts, I’ve been having to resort to filler in order to keep up with my ‘post a day’ goal.
Now that the front page only shows the most recent post from each category, the model horse invasion isn’t as obvious… but the fact that I haven’t posted recently in some of the categories is.
So it’s time to start hashing out another posting schedule. Only this go around I’m specifying the category and the post type. I figure half the time I miss a post it’s because I can’t choose one thing to talk about.
Which means I need to hash out what post types should belong in each category and on what days they should show up. I’m still only aiming for one post a day, but the bonus goal is two have two a day (except for Thursdays and Sundays) by the end of April.

Um, yeah. I’m just going to go with ‘Randomness’ as a general category here.

This one is easier since it’s all about website design and maintenance : WordPress Coding, PHP, Plugins, SEO, Design, Content, Progress Reports

Unquiet Bones
This is the one category where I’m expecting to have more than two posts a week, since I’m starting up a test serial story come April. Some of these categories won’t be assigned a day since I’m not planning on writing in them at the moment. Going forward this category will most likely expand to five posts a week (or more).
Otherwise the post types are: Saturday Story Prompts, Story Snippits, Draft Stories, Finished Short/Flash Fiction, Serial Stories, Progress Reports, Writing Process, Hobby Related.
Monday – Serial Story (Expected 8 week run)
Wednesday – Progress Reports, Writing Process, Hobby Related
Saturday – Saturday Story Prompts
