Today I got sucked into all of the gadgets that I have been trying to avoid wasting my time on. I got a big old RSS subscribe button, a share and bookmark button, and I got feedburner hooked up (I think). Because I am trying to encourage more traffic, I signed up for a twitter account for this website and added a plugin that will feed the headline of all my blog posts as a Twitter post with a link back to the article.

It’s kind of neat having all of these great tools available within WordPress but as usual it gets a little time consuming. All I can say is I hope it all pays off in the long run. I started thinking about it and decided that it ought to be worth my time to do some of this stuff. After all, I was thinking that I am spending so much time creating the content, I may as well come up with a few ways to distribute and advertise that content as much as I can.

This blog seems to be going OK but I am having a slow go at getting my other blogs going. It’s the little tweaks that I went through today that I end up going through for all of my new sites. I always end up with design issues that frustrate me, and I always want to add all the bells and whistles that I have added on my other sites. This doesn’t always work out as planned because all of my sites are based on a different niche and they all seem to have different needs that I think would help the site. In the long run, I always end up wasting too much time adding all the little gadgets and I never get down to actually doing the things that actually matter.
