Blog Updates
2014
It all started with the best intentions back in 2012: set yourself a mileage challenge, then blog about it every week to keep yourself and any readers informed and hopefully entertained of your progress.
I updated the blog in a reasonably timeous fashion until August 2012, when I fell behind. Then the wheels metaphorically fell off. I created a load of blank entries for the weeks that I'd missed in December 2012, intending to catch up before the year was out. Then I made an attempt to kick-start the blog at the beginning of 2013, but by the end of February that early optimism soon dissipated and the updates dried up completely. A pretty poor show.
As keen-eyed readers may have spotted, at the end of December I belatedly started catching up with the backlog of weekly posts for earlier in the year. I only managed to write about the first 5 weeks of the year before apathy had set in and as the weeks whizzed by, the mountainous backlog of entries proved too daunting to tackle. So resuming with week 6 (w/e 10 February 2013), I got cracking. I thought to myself, if I get my head down over Christmas and write two weekly updates per day, in 3 weeks or so or should have cleared the backlog and I can start blogging about the new challenge of 2014. Well, that optimistic target soon slipped didn't it? Carrying on at the current pace will take ages to complete.
Anyway, this week I only just realised that you can amend the posting date when adding an entry. Why has it taken me two years to discover this feature? I wrote the entry for week 17 (w/e 28 April 2013) and posted it as if it was written on 29th April. Sneaky, but it makes much more sense to lodge it there rather than having it stuck out in January 2014. My plan now is to go back through the late / belated entries and repost them under a more sensible date. At the same time, I hope to mop up some of the "missing" entries for 2012 as well.
I've created a new label called updated for this purpose. When I get around to writing up a week from recent history, the count under the labels list on the front page will increment accordingly. If I add an especially interesting update or two, I'll add a special post to draw attention to it. I've marked the entries from 2012 that need writing up and fleshing out with the label blank. There are currently 16 of them, but hopefully that number will come down as the year progresses.
Once I've posted this I'll make a start on rearranging the blog contents according to a more informative date of publishing. Contents may shift in transportation.
Onwards and upwards!
