Organizing your Content

Postby thisnthat » 27 Apr 2017, 15:22

How do your organize your content for your site? Do you use an editorial calendar type thing like magazines do? In other words, do you start preparing content far in advance for events, occasions, and holidays? Do you already know what you'll be doing for the next holiday or will you wait until it's close?

What other tips do you have for organizing content?

I am pretty lousy at organizing my own site. I tend to dump everything into it without categorizing them. Then, I have to delete one by one those outdated and unwanted posts, categorize them to send them to the proper section. ALways look at how other sites display, learn form them

I usually keep paragraphs short to make the readers entertain more because I noticed that longer paragraphs tend the users become lazy to read it. I also use headers, subheaders and bullet points to make the content easily scannable.

When I make a design of a site, my first concern is the ease of understanding by the user so I always come up with the bullet type menu first and when the list is almost final, that's the time I think of the style. My priority is more of the functionality than the layout.

I wish I did something with a calendar but I don't. I post very sporadic on my blog and only when ideas come to me. There has been a lot of stress and relationship issues happening for me so it is interfering greatly with my work ethic right now. I hope all that changes soon. I use to pre write some stuff but I somewhere along the way lost motivation to do that, not sure why.

I think this is definitely good advice for individual pieces of content. Breaking up chunks of text is always preferred. I was more referring to content overall. Like, how often you post, when you post, etc.

I don't really work like that. I had a word document open all the time for me to write headers and I then either write the article or I keep the header for later. Then I publish them when I find an image or I think it's a good time to post it. Random I know, but I do usually do a 'from the Ed's perspective' at the beginning or end of the month with a roundup of the topics in the world, and a monthly deals and news in brief page.

I don't publish contents on current topics. Current topics are seasonal. They will pull traffic during the season and for the rest of the year, they will become inactive. For instance, if you publish on Christmas, you will see traffic during the Christmas. Once the festival is over there will be zero traffic.

having category menu is the best way to organize your contents. Once you have category menu, you will have contents grouped according to the category.

It's been a while since I wrote an article in my blog. But with my current site, Bitlanders, I write at least 3 times a week and if possible I would submit content on a daily basis.
