A Fresh Start to 2014
Here in the Skelleyverse we focus on two things: collaboration and prompts. Thus, when we set up the blog we only created two categories. During the past week, while Kent’s been taking some time off from his day job, he and Jen revisited this simplistic setup and decided it was time to get more organized.
We decided to break things down into multiple topics, as you can see by the menu in the right column. There’s no longer a “Collaboration” category because all of our craft-related posts approach things from that direction. Like any other author, Rune Skelley must address the fundamentals. The new taxonomy reflects this. The writing prompts, too, got recategorized. There are different ways to do prompts, so we grouped ours according to how they were generated.
The other thing that we lavished some attention on is the tag cloud. It’s been expanded, but more importantly we winnowed out more than half of the tags that had accumulated since we started blogging here, consolidating some things, e.g., husband and wife replaced by spouse, and eliminating a few others by changing them into categories. The impact on the tag cloud’s personality is quite noticeable, and we hope you’ll enjoy using it to explore our strangeness.
In the course of this project, we reviewed every bit of content we have here. It was a lot of work, but it was fun, especially because we did it together (naturally) and cracked each other up for hours at a time in the process. Turns out Jen’s husband is really weird, as is Kent’s wife. We spotted some trends in the content of the prompts, which we shall analyze and report on in a future post.
I challenge you to write something else we can use the effervescent concoction tag with.
