In 2008, I’m looking to:
1. Blog more because you have to feed the beast…and how else can you keep up with people such as Mathew Ingram, Om Malik, TechCrunch, Robert Scoble, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, etc.?
2. Blog less, and focus on quality as opposed to quantity, and unique thoughts/ideas rather than jumping on the blogging bandwagon every time news breaks.
3. Be less obsessed with statistics because it’s not how many readers you have but the audience you want to reach, the conversations you want to encourage, the brand you want to build, etc.
4. Be even more obsessed with statistics because more is always better, right? Goals for 2008: 2,500 RSS readers, a lot more comments and a promotion within the Techmeme ecosystem.
5. Learn even more about how WordPress works, including design and SEO.
6. Stop spending so much time learning about WordPress, and stop fooling around with every single plug-in that looks quasi-interesting.
7. Spend less time on Techmeme.
8. Reduce the number of RSS feeds to focus on reading a small group of blogs.
9. Add more blogs to Google Reader, especially those not focused on technology.
10. Try to attract advertising other than AdSense.
11. Stop worrying about making money from blogging because it’s really not about the money.
Have a Happy (and safe!) New Year’s!
