My Indiana: Time To Push The Column
Posted by Jason A. Hendricks on June 28, 2008 |
This past month has been a bit hectic. First, I moved my website. Then I accepted a new position within Skinny Moose Media, my blog host company. On top of that, I am in the preparation stage of launching a new online magazine (more on that in a later post). All I can say is it’s been a busy month. Luckily, things are getting back under control.
Right before my move to Skinny Moose Media, I decided to launch a small project on The Adventurist. My Indiana. In theory, this would be my way of combining one love (that of adventure) with a more personal touch–my home state. Not everything on “My Indiana” revolves around adventure. This is the one space I allow myself to venture and discover what my home state has to offer. The first installment of My Indiana discussed what I am trying to do in more detail.
There have been a few other installments of My Indiana, but nothing on the regular basis that I had originally planned. The original plan was for a weekly column. This has been sporadic at best, often times coming every couple of weeks, with nothing in the past month. It’s time to get back on track.
Starting this week, I will probably take this blog down to 5 days a week. One reasoning is that most of my fellow bloggers take the weekend off to enjoy some time away from the computer. Although I won’t be making posts on The Adventurist on Saturday or Sunday, I will still be working on my other two projects. I need the time for that. In the meantime, this is going to give me the perfect opportunity to crank-up the “My Indiana” column. I am going to be setting this as my Friday feature and running it through the weekend. It gives me a nice stopping point for the week and gives me something to look forward to-almost like a day off. Hopefully, you will find the posts interesting and perhaps even learn about a state that gets very little media attention other than it’s sports-even though that could be a future topic, as well.
If all goes planned and people dig the new column, this may lead to a future blogging endeavor, but we will have to wait and see on that.
In the meantime, I mentioned that there had been a few “My Indiana” posts previously. You can find them by clicking below.

Right above this post, you will find the latest installment, My Indiana: Mountain Biking Makes A Mark.
Sounds like you’ve got a good plan there. The reasons you described are part of why Safety Friday was born on the GSI blog. By the end of the week it’s nice to have a subject already picked out. It makes writing that week ending post just a bit easier.
