slow going

Down The Rabbit Hole

I have been working on the Pagan Calendar, getting it updated for 2020, and it has been a long slow process. Every year I find better ways to keep track of the days and dates that change, but every year it gets longer and longer as more and more holidays are added.

My biggest issue this time around has been figuring out which posts didn’t actually make it to the A to Z and the 2020 Calendars because they were prescheduled, and published automatically. That’s because I can’t put a link to a post that hasn’t posted yet. So, it’s a tedious process of looking for what should be on the calendar but is not.

Also, I got really lazy about the A to Z page, and now I’m having to go through month by month and make sure that everything is actually there.

So, it’s slow… and boring… and sometimes confusing… and I do hope that it’s useful and worth the time and effort that I put into it every year.

Here are links to the newly updated pages and also a few new posts. I am no where near done, hopefully before the end of January it will be finished.

Today’s Offerings

Today, I started with the idea of updating the Pagan Calendar, which really really needs to be done, but then I found that I had other things I wanted to talk about first.

Over at Toward The One we have:

On the Book of Shadows I posted:

Road Trip!

I will be heading out on a family weekend for the next couple of days, so there won’t be anything new posted on the website until I get back. I hope you have been enjoying these daily updates as much as I have been enjoying posting them! See you soon!

Just Checking In

No major problems, no big updates, just a short note to say that things are perking along pretty smoothly. As usual, the Magick and Mystery sites are getting a lot of traffic, and I work hard to continue to add new content there. The Healing Pages are not getting as much attention as I would like to give them, I have added some new content, and I have so much more that I haven’t had time to upload… sigh.

The Inspirational Pages are coming along. I did add a bunch of quotes to Way Cool Quotes, and The Prosperity Project is getting ready for another 30 days beginning on Nov 15. I did add some memes and some pictures to the Fun Pages, trying to stay caught up with Halloween.

I hope I get some thanksgiving pics and memes uploaded pretty soon. The rest of the pages are just waiting for me to have more hours in the day, more days in the week, and more energy and brain power… So. Enjoy the site. I hope you find something interesting and informative!

The Latest News Update

I feel like I’m always “in the weeds.” Never enough time in the day… never enough days off… Halloween is coming, and then Thanksgiving and Christmas, and a whole new year!

I have been so crazy busy trying to keep up with the Book of ShadowsPagan Calendar, the Prosperity Project, and my “real” life, that I haven’t even thought about taking the time to post an update.

Some of the little mini sites haven’t had updates for several months… sigh… and I haven’t felt compelled to stay up until 3 am working on them because they aren’t getting much traffic anyway. It’s a catch 22. The sites that get a lot of traffic also get a lot of attention from me… which brings in more traffic. The sites that don’t get many page views per day, also don’t get many updates from me… which gives even less of a reason to visit them.

Yesterday, though, I did notice that the More Cool Pictures and Meme City have been getting some traffic, so I uploaded more memes and more cool pictures.

So, that’s the latest news update.

Not Enough

So, either there are not enough hours in my day, not enough days off in my week, or not enough of me to go around. I have been working so hard on the website. It probably adds up to more than a 40 hr week, and I’m still not anywhere near to catching up with myself!

Between the Prosperity Project and the Magick and Mystery mini-sites … well … talk about biting off more than I can chew!! I spent all day today working on getting ahead of the Project posts so that tomorrow I can maybe get the March Pagan Calendar under control.

So, to those of you who are wanting to see more going on in the Inspiration and Insight section, Healing Outside the Box, or the Fun Stuff pages … I’m getting there. I really am. I’ve even gotten a little bit of a start on the Spirituality mini-sites.

Anyway… I’m just checking in to say that yes, eventually every single spot on this website will be filled with totally cool content. Every single unfinished page will be finished.

Playing Catchup

Wowsers! I had hoped that by this time I would have the site map completely updated, plenty of new content on all the little mini sites, the Pagan Calendar loaded for January with a good start on February, The Prosperity Project ready for a mega upload of old content from the original blog, and ….

That has not happened.

I think I must have been way too ambitious in my goal setting, because I have had plenty of time off work due to nasty weather, and I have been working my fingers to the bone uploading all kinds of new content. One memorable day I think I put up more than 30 new posts! That’s ALOT!

And yet, I feel like I’m just treading water trying to keep up with it all. So this is what I have accomplished so far:

  1. About half of the sites are updated on the site map and have at least some new content.
  2. The Violet Flame experiment at The Prosperity Project is coming along nicely – we’re half way through our first project in 5 years, and inspite of a daily influx of spam comments, all is well there.
  3. I’ve been keeping maybe 1 or 2 days ahead of the Pagan Calendar… Geez… those pagans celebrate something every day… sometimes several things in one day…
  4. I posted everything there was to post about my journey with The Lord of the Rings on Hey It’s Me. Some of it is personal, some of it is dumb, and some of it is interesting… take a look if you’re interested.
  5. I got 2 new herbs up at the Encyclopedia of Herbology. And that was a big accomplishment because I research like crazy in an attempt to get EVERYTHING there is to know about each herb posted, and at the same time I post recipes and cures on the other two related sites.

So… that’s what’s been going on behind the scenes. Thanks for reading this. I do hope you enjoy your visit to my little pocket of madness on the world wide web.
