Author: I mentioned in a previous post that I was considering raising the bar a bit, in terms of my hippy output…
I’m here to more than mention it this time, I’m actually confirming that this hippy will provide at least 100 posts in the next 100 days. Count this one you are currently reading as the first in the series. Yes, corners might get cut!
The rules are simple, I am aiming for at least one post every day, for the next 100 days. Some days, my posts may be brief, but I hope to maintain reasonable hippy-length pieces of some quality.
My reasoning for this is incredibly simple; I don’t feel like my output has been prolific enough recently and this one simple idea should inspire (read as “force”) me to put more time back into my website.
Right now, I would be silly not to make the extra effort, as my visitor numbers continue to steadily increase. A smart hippy would be trying to hook these new, casual visitors and turn them into life-long hippyfans…
I’m a smart hippy! Well, sometimes!
You will notice that I’ve added an extra number, following the post number, in the title of this entry. The new, extra number, denotes the number of posts within my 100 post challenge, so you can also keep score and play the home version right along with me.
I hope you’ve all checked out my nlh deluxe – graphic promo, which I’ve embedded in my site as a YouTube video. It’s nothing fancy and only 1 minute long, so please have a look.
And for you tech-geeks out there, like me, here’s how I made it. The animated graphics were all put together in Keynote, Apple’s presentation software and then exported as a QuickTime movie. I then brought the QuickTime file into FinalCut Express to add the music and sound effects. The original version is 720p, high def, bur YouTube ain’t down with that shit, so I had to compress it a fair bit before uploading.
I hope you all enjoy whatever it is I’m going to do with the next 100 posts! I know I’m going to have lots of fun writing them, but then I always have fun! I’m having fun right now, I sure do hope you are too…
