It’s a new year, so let’s go ahead and make a New Year’s resolution right now: I promise to write every day. It doesn’t have to be much. But it has to be something. Something. Anything. It can be a journal entry. (See The Five-Minute Journal.) It can be a blog post. It can be a 750 word free-write. It can be an avant-garde poem about a wilting flower. It doesn’t matter. But you need to write… every day. This is how you master the craft of writing. Nobody just sits down and stares at a blank page (or screen) and in 30 minutes comes up with the next great piece of literature. That doesn’t happen. In order to master your craft, you need to practice that craft. And in order to practice that craft, you need to: Maintain a discipline. What your discipline looks like is surely different than what my discipline looks like, but the important thing is that you stay consistent. You need to consistently stay disciplined every single day. In case … [Read more...] about 5 Things To Practice To Become A Great Blog Writer

UX has a long history… going back way beyond the digital era. Restaurants have always been concerned about User Experience, and so have museums and hotels. The chef, the curator, the innkeeper—these people have always had a vested interest in your comfort, your enjoyment… your experience.  Today, however, ‘UX’ is most often applied to software applications and websites. How easy is it to navigate a site? Is there a steep learning curve to using the site/application? How frustrating is it when the user makes an error? Is the site trustworthy? Do users find what they expect? Do they get what they need? From a visitor’s very first impression right on through to the engagement you hope they’ll pursue, every minute should be effortless. Interacting with your site/app should be pleasurable, easy, engaging, and efficient. That, in a nutshell, is ‘User Experience’ (UX). Tech changes at a lightning-fast pace. Every day, … [Read more...] about 12 Easy UX Improvements You Need to Know About

Review of: Grammarly Price: Free to try Reviewed by: Kim Barloso Rating: 5 On March 21, 2017 Last modified:March 21, 2017 Summary: Grammarly is the best tool for writers, bloggers & content companies to proofread and check for plagiarism. They offer a web app (cloud based), a Chrome addon, a Word addon & a desktop app for Mac. Their 'free to try' model makes this app worth using. It's one of the best proofreading tools out there. Free Signup If you’ve ever written a blog post before, then you’ve probably had stray commas and misspelled words that you somehow overlooked during your proofreading process.

Interesting Journey It feels so immensely strange to be sitting down to write this post.  As of this morning it marks the seventh year of Tales of the Aggronaut.  I am not exactly sure why but seven years seems like a significantly more auspicious number than five or six or even eight.  Culturally we place a strange importance on the number seven as either lucky or magical, and I have to admit that I fall for this same trap myself.  As a web developer by trade, I started this blog with a purpose and had all of the trappings of a proper website.  One of those is of course Google Analytics integration, and I spent some time this morning going over the numbers before sitting down to write this post.  In the Seven years I have published 1260 posts, and they have been read a grand total of 235,304 times at the moment of pulling the stats.  Over the course of this blogs lifespan I’ve had 110,359 unique readers from 182 countries, and roughly … [Read more...] about Seven Years
