What do I hope to accomplish with my blog in 2008?

• Post more consistently – Up until now I’ve blogged when I’ve had time and even then it’s been a sort of "write then publish" mindset. I’m going to use 2008 to get more intentional with my blogging and use some tried and true techniques to (hopefully) improve my posts. Will I post every day? Unlikely. Ideally, though, when I do post, it’ll be richer content.
• Less trash, more treasure – I’m going to funnel what used to be my quick posts to my tumblog and use shawnw.org for more substantial posts. I’ve had a tumblog for some time now but never really used it. You’ll notice I now have a list of my recent tumblog posts in my sidebar along with a Fun Stuff button, which links to my tumblog, near the top of my blog.
• Get 100 RSS subscribers by this time next year – I experimented with posting something at least once a day for a month and my RSS subscriber count didn’t really rise (it’s hovered around 40 since late summer). Then again, I was simply posting links to funny pictures, videos, and the like. My focus in 2008 will be to publish more tech howto articles making my blog more valuable and RSS subscriber-worthy.
