The new year is upon us and as 2008 wraps up, I wanted to take this time to discuss a few details about the blog you are reading. "Luke's Ponderings" had more blog postings in 2008 than in any other year. Obviously you don't have any control of that - but it's a small personal achievement for me. Usually what I try to do with the blog is write a minimum of five blog postings per month. I mean, that's not terribly hard to follow, right? Last month I fell short of that and I am going to prevent that from happening again this month.
There are also a few other notes that I wanted to share with the readers about "Luke's Ponderings." In the new year, as a way to generate more postings in this blog, each blog posting will be shorter. This won't occur all the time as I tend to have a lot to say for certain subjects. But for other things that cross my mind - and as a way to post everyday, I will be writing two to three paragraphs per blog as opposed to the four paragraph-minimum I typically set for myself. Just a small compromise for getting more out of this blog. Even if I have to write about the weather every day for a lack of a better subject, I'll do that. For those long-time readers of "Luke's Ponderings," you may have noticed I used to do daily weather reports. Even though weather is something very easy to write about, I got bored of doing that and quit doing those particular reports. At the time I thought it was taking away from my regular blog postings. I won't write about the weather every day, but definitely from time to time.
Also in 2009, I have decided to start writing about American Idol again in "Luke's Ponderings," once the new season begins in mid-January. This is different from what I said at the end of last season, when I had planned on starting a spin-off blog just for American Idol related posts. I feel that American Idol helps to better define "Luke's Ponderings" as an entertainment blog in edition to my usual blogs about life and events here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I know you either love American Idol or hate it. For those that hate it but still love this blog, just skip that particular blog. You can be sure that while the new season of AI is going on, I will also be writing about other topics, too. Last year I began the American Idol show re-caps once the top 12-portion of the competition started. This year I will begin a little bit earlier, probably once the top 36 start. Look for this to begin probably towards the end of January '09.
That about does it for what's ahead in 2009 for "Luke's Ponderings". I want to thank everyone who has checked out my blog at some point in time. Hopefully you have stopped by long enough and liked what I had to write about. Here's hoping for bigger and better things as 2009 approaches. Happy New Year!
