Text of the page (random words):
hings that you now see you could have blogged about but haven t whichever it is the best piece of advice i can give you is to ask yourself what would the doctor do and then follow his lead don t allow yourself to be bound by chronology your blog is your tardis go travelling around in time in it come closer i m going to let you in on a little secret while i generally introduce a craft project on my blog as today s project it doesn t mean i made it that day often it doesn t even mean i made it that month and i dare say that there are probably a few projects from last year waiting in the wings to make an appearance here and i m guessing that you don t care one jot why would you and why would your blog readers one of the simplest and pain free ways you can increase your blogging productivity is to stop thinking you have to blog things in the order they happened or the order you made them that you have to do something new for your next post if you haven t already blogged it if it s never seen the light of day if no one outside your house has seen it then it is new you may have made it 3 years ago and be sick of the sight of it cluttering up in your workroom but to your readers it s sparklingly fresh content and if you followed all the tips about bulk making photographing and editing blog images then you re going to have to let go of any attachment to chronology because quite simply you re going to have so much new content you re going to be blogging it for months to come it won t necessarily make sense to blog it all in the right order and it probably won t always feels new to you but your readers don t need to know and even if they did it wouldn t matter several of the projects i ve shared recently have been made weeks even months ago you didn t know and you didn t need to it s all viable content no less interesting or well presented or useful for being a little long in the tooth exceptions of course there ll be times when you will want to share something brand spanking new a time sensitive offer a current issue a design team commitment a new arrival for example i m currently preparing to launch a new product one i m really excited about here on monday 29th and that needs to be introduced as something brand new and the post will be freshly written this weekend in this instance working in the present is necessary however having a collection of pre prepared non time dependent projects waiting in the wings allows you to maintain a regular dare i say calm blogging schedule these pre prepared posts can be slotted in between other more date specific posts like my month in numbers or any of those blog memes you might join in with they can become your comfort blanket reassuring you that on those days weeks when you simply can t make anything new to share there s still something new unseen just waiting to be published if you take the freezer meals advice and blog your projects activities stories etc individually you ll begin to appreciate just how much creativity you do achieve throughout the year and then it will reward you by providing you with blogging material throughout any dry spells so whether you ve got an awesome story to tell about something that happened last year or there s a craft project you ve had on a shelf for so long you ve forgotten how interesting it may be to someone else or you ve found a few photos you took of a gift you made and gave someone months ago take a look at them with fresh eyes drag them into your tardis and whizz them right up to the present day on your blog or schedule them for a future post or failing that start planning a spot of time travel for a future date starting now re read the freezer meals approach and begin setting into place the processes which 6 months down the line will see you blogging something you made fresh yesterday or even tomorrow blogging time travel is the way forward and back ok now that we re nicely loosened up and no doubt happily picturing ourselves travelling through history with our time lord of choice let s get to work let s take a look at a method we can use to stretch time so that we get chance to actually do something with all this raw material we ve found try harnessing your interstitial time i took the title here from this brilliant blog post by merlin mann which i originally read years ago when i was reading up on interstitial time for fun hey what can i say that s just how i roll while interstitial time may well sound like something from dr who or star trek well you do have a kirk in charge here after all it s actually got nothing to do with warp speed or not quite interstitial time is those little pockets of time we have in between other stuff it s definitely worth reading the merlin mann post for more ideas it s the time you have on the bus train or while you wait for tea to cook or work to start etc etc it s when you suddenly find yourself with a smidgen of time to spare it s the times when if you had something ready prepared which just needed a few words a spot of tweaking a quick 10 minutes work you could easily painlessly have a blog post started developed or even published this is definitely what i try to do when i find myself without large blocks of free time to take a shower in let alone to blog in and it s a habit i developed while on campus during my part time job my working hours can be very hit and miss with big gaps in between and for the first few years it used to drive me insane until i decided to harness my interstitial time now whenever i arrive on campus early or find myself at a loose end in between sessions i find myself a computer and work on blog posts magazine articles or answering emails or i sit with a cuppa and scribble ideas in a notebook and by increments i get things done and here s the thing which helps me most in my quest to blog consistently month in month out my top 3 tips for streamlining your blogging time draft posts draft posts and draft posts draft posts rock my blogging world fact they re not merely superb buffer zones for when you re tempted to blog upset angry or drunk as we discussed in chapter 9 the kenny rogers approach nor do they simply allow you to cool off when you get a bee in your bonnet and think whatever it is occupying your mind will make for the basis of an amazing post you may be right who am i to judge it may well be an amazing discussion which connects with your readers on a deep level equally it may come across as the frustrated ramblings of a bitter misanthrope personally i don t like to take the chance no draft posts are more than all of that they re an organised blogger s essential companion if it s good enough for the doctor to rope in a companion to assist him in his time travelling escapades it s good enough for us how many drafts do you have on the go at any one time as you can see from the screen shot i like to keep my options open for the next time i grab some interstitial blogging time not all of those drafts contain fully formed posts plans some just contain general ideas and thoughts for future things which need more work however there are quite a few strong proper posts being housed in there complete with a title and pre prepared photos oh and while we re speaking of photos apologies first to bloggers on other platforms but bear with me you know you can upload images any time you like in bulk directly into your blogger blog s online album don t you you may know this already but i know for a fact some people don t so here goes all of the images you ve ever added to a blogger blog go into a picasa web album online which is linked to your blog to view your albums visit https picasaweb google com and if you re using google you can also view them through your google homepage under photos on the left hand side then click the albums tab but as well as being able to view images you ve already uploaded you can open up an album and upload as many as you like for future blog posts saving so much time and fuss later on sorry for being blogger centric but as i said at the very start of the series all advice is really based on experience and blogger s what i know best but in the interests of cross platform fairness here s the google help page mentioning picasa web albums this typepad help page mentions photo albums being available to pro account holders here and here s info on how to add images to a post from your media library on wordpress so after you ve taken all those photos in bulk and edited them in bulk you can now upload them to these online albums in bulk and then add them into individual blog posts whenever you feel like it whenever you have a few minutes here and there here s how to add those images into a specific post go to the little photo icon in the blog post dashboard the same one you ve been using to add images already then when this pop up screen appears select from picasa web albums rather than upload thumbnails of your albums will then appear select the album you uploaded the images to when the album opens scroll down to find the specific images you want for your post click on each image selected images are highlighted in blue click add selected top tip your images will appear in your post in the order you clicked them when you selected them so click them in the order you want them in to avoid having to drag and shuffle them around later i felt so clever and yet stupid for not realising this earlier when i noticed this sometimes after editing a batch of photos on my laptop i ll take an extra 5 minutes or less to go online open up my picasa web albums and drop the fresh images in there straight away this way i know that the next time i get a minute or two maybe while i m hanging around at work i can open up blogger create a new draft and insert the images without any fuss and suddenly i m on my way to another post without ever having to break into a sweat and you can be too if this is the first time you ve heard any this and it s the first time you ve considered another way of blogging i fully accept that this might all sound like a lot of hassle but i promise you i m really not one of those dr who villains trying to lock you all into the internet so i can control your minds if you re already finding some time to blog then today s approach and everything in the series is really there to help you make the most of the time you do have i just want to convince you that to be in a position to publish fresh content on a regular basis you really don t need to spend hours on end blogging once again this is a

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 23 april 2013 cardmaking with skulls and stripes hi you it s my day to post on the 3djean design team blog today and as usual because i like to make the most with what i ve already got i m sharing my project with you here too now where would i get an idea like that from so here s the card it was a birthday card for a girl who turned 13 and after seeing her wearing the current trend for skulls and studs i wanted to create a fun punkish skully but still cute card for her for the record there s only been a short period in my life when i didn t like skulls and studs i have to thoroughly resist the temptation to talk about when i wore all that the first time around partly because it makes me sounds ancient and partly because it really wasn t the first time around nothing s new is it fashion just goes around and around i ve gone off on one again haven t i ok back to the card the gorgeous turqouise stripe backing paper and the blue pink checks on the die cut heart comes from the 6x6 les edition de infocrea pad from 3djean and that gloriously neon frame is a very old bampop design the skull charm is from the ribbon girl and everything else was either loitering around in my stash for years or borrowed like the heart bunting die so i can t really give you any more info on those call myself a professional sheesh anyway so what do you think a good balance of cute and edgy for a teenage girl s card who am i kidding i like it now and it s a loooong time since i was a teenager goes off to polish up skull earrings i ll be back later this week maybe tomorrow maybe thursday with the final approach in my push up bra blogging series i was planning a round up post for the final final post where i ll try to tie up any loose
