Recently, I presented you with a poll asking for your favorite DALANEL weekly feature. Monday Motivation? Wednesday Word? What about Good News Friday?
Well, now I’ve decided to spice things up a bit by offering my thoughts about my own work. I’ve had weekly and daily featured posts. Some of them were hits. Some were misses. Others I wanted to do, but never really got it off the ground. Here’s the full list in no particular order. Also note that temporary features like my play and my video series are up for rank:
- Daily Good Stuff
- Monday Motivation
- Weekly News
- Dante’s Opinion
- Breaking Down the Book
- The Face-Off (play)
- Dante and Basketball
- DALANEL Review
- Daily Good News
- Daily Word
- Follower Friday
- How Was Your Week?
- Weekly Funnies
- Wednesday Word
That’s 14 types of featured posts that I’ve gone through. Right now, there’s only four of them active.
I rank these by purpose, how fun they were to make, and other stuff. It’s my rank and my rules. I will say that views and likes will not count on the rank. I mean, views and likes will count on how I interpret the success but the literal views and likes will not determine where this stuff lands. These are based off of me and how I have responded to them. Let’s get started with the loser.
14. The Face-Off
This was a play that I wrote. I decided to share it on the blog as part of 2013’s big summer. The play was a flop in my opinion. I didn’t get any views. Also, I realized that it was actually a hassle trying to tag the stuff and label the stuff. It was a mess.
13. Weekly News
Good News Friday is technically a current incarnation of Weekly News. Weekly News, however, covered good news, weird/funny news, and satire. The problem with this feature was that I never really got it going and Daily Good Stuff eventually pushed it out of the lineup.
12. How Was Your Week?
This was one of the posts that I was very excited about during the original thought process. I mention this because that’s the only reason why this isn’t in 15th place (and there isn’t even a 15th place!). Once I got started, I realized that talking about what happened to me during my week was boring. I have no life. The idea was to stimulate conversation; but that also didn’t happen. It was just all messed up. I will say that this is a feature I am always considering bringing back.
