As from the first of January I’ll be changing the blog schedule (and the layout) and will only be posting 4 days a week. It’s gunna feel weird, as I’m so use to posting every day, but, it will free up my time to do other things.
So the new schedule looks like this:
Mondays: Plans for the week
Tuesdays: Faber until April
Wednesdays: Nope, sorry, day off. Apart from one post once a month, IWSG!
Thursdays: Fraid not.
Fridays: A random post.
Saturdays: Faber once a month until April and random stuff.
Sundays: I’ll be chilling 😉
Some of the random posts will be fiction, inspirations, reviews and I’ll even share some pages from my journal. I’ve been working on a timetable (which I may share at some stage). And so far I have filled 12 hours every day with stuff I need to do *gulp*
Awwwww, it’s the end of an era! 😦 What will I do with myself? lol. Probably start wading through this lot and trying to write a novel *snigger*
I’d just like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone who’s commented, liked, followed and read my blog. 2012 hasn’t been a bad year all told. There have been moments where I wanted to give up (blogging and writing), but I’m glad I stuck with it. I’ve met some fantastic people on this journey, and I’m so looking forward to sharing 2013 with you all 🙂
Don’t they say a change is as good as a holiday? 😉
Got any plans to change your Blog for 2013?
Good luck with the new blog schedule, Vikki! It’s so impressive that you have been blogging every single day. What a change it will be for you to have some extra time available in 2013. Happy New Year!

Best wishes on the blogging. It will be a nice change to your schedule I’m sure. I’m going to try a few changes. One will be to get myself better on track with my goal to blog twice a week(for my crazy life it’s enough). I also want to play around with my blog setup…not sure what yet….just need a change.

I did have a little go earlier in the year when my daughter was away and I was house sitting for her dogs so she could see what we were up to. I thought it was quite amuzing but I got lazy when she got back. I only told a few friends I was doing it. I used blogger which I don’t think was a good as good as wordpress. Maybe I will have another go but there are things go on in my life that I don’t think should be on the www. LOL. 🙂

This still sounds like an ambitious and impressive schedule. I look forward to whatever you post. Your blogs are always enjoyable. I changed the format of my blog a few months ago. My main goal for blogging in 2013 is to be more consistent in posting. I’m aiming for weekly and that is stretching it. I don’t know how you do it. I also want to make more time for reading and commenting on the blogs I follow. I wish for a successful new year for all of us.
