State of The Blog – A Quick Change log
When it comes to writing this blog, there have been several ongoing issues that have not been addressed or fixed until today. There have been issues with grammar, commas, and general mistakes that needed fixed. There is also the issue of length, which I want to address as well. Finally, every blog thus far has not had a proper ending section either. So this post will address each of these issues and how they were handled.
Starting with the typographical errors in the posts, those should have all been fixed. Every post up to “Steam Workshop – Almost Too Convenient” has been checked over. Any errors I could find were fixed. Quality control on previous posts has been lax due to the ending time limit on this blog. With the due date of 1/8/2020, every post has been treated as if it is in a drafting stage. Small changes and fixes will continue to be applied over the next two days, but the most glaring errors should be fixed.
The blog posts have run long pretty consistently for a number of reasons. The first reason was a mix up of information. I started working under semi-loose instructions given prior to the course for a “…short(one page)” blog post. But during the first few posts I had somehow gotten the idea into my head that one page was around 500 words, so that was the minimum I was shooting for. Shortly after, I realized that I was running long. So over the next few posts I tried to shorten the posts, but by the time I got the detail I wanted they ended up long anyway.
I could shorten the posts, but not get in all the information I wanted. But then I would be making the exact type of content I hate – just enough information to get interested, but not enough detail to learn anything. This blog is already meant for a niche audience, the type of audience that welcomes lengthy detail. If a detail is not interesting at the time of reading, you are welcome to skip it, but if you need it later you’re welcome to come back.
Finally, the ending section. This has been implemented into all posts. Sellout sections simply slipped my mind. I usually leave a post or video well before these appear, so it was easy to forget about them. These will be included in all future blogs as well.
