It's been about 2-1/2 months since I made a blog schedule designed to get Daily Pie back to daily posting. Then, about a month ago I reviewed the numbers so far.
Today, I'm taking what I've learned and simplifying Daily Pie by doing a bit of stripping away, consolidation, and rearranging.
The consolidation: I've created a topic (and tag) for Media, to include movies, radio, music, video, social media, and podcasts. (Books will still have their own day because, you know, they're books.)
The stripping away: Weekends will no longer be part of my blogging schedule -- if I post, it'll be something spontaneous and, I hope, fun for you to read. This means the end of regular simplicity posts, which, frankly, I found difficult to write without sounding preachy. If any other simplicity ideas come up, I'll post them at random.
Also, you may have noticed I tinkered with the blog design recently. Basically, I got rid of some dot graphics that felt like clutter and de-emphasized the background pattern to ease reading (I can still see the pattern when using Chrome, but can't when using Internet Explorer).
The rearranging: Books move to Tuesday, Media to Thursday. New schedule's in the upper left sidebar.
Have you guys gone through similar processes with your blogs? Have you achieved the balance you want between blogging and the rest of your lives?

3 ate pie:
I don't post on weekends much either--and I try to make Mondays front-heavy as I get more hits then.
It's tough. I'm trying to find something that works for me. Between my revisions and loads of other stuff that's come up, I've been finding less and less time to blog.
I'm looking forward to not having a weekend obligation -- other than writing and running and mowing the grass once in a while.
It's all about balance, right?
