Twilight Earth is Changing, and I’d Like Your Thoughts

change Twilight Earth is Changing, and Id Like Your Thoughts

Life is about CHANGE, and Twilight Earth is changing to better serve your needs and interests.

When I started this website, I wasn’t really sure I knew what I was doing, (and I still don’t) but one of things that I have learned is that a successful website is one that dedicated to point specific subject matter. Subject matter is one of the things that I have struggled with here at Twilight Earth, as the “Environment” is such a big subject, and encompasses almost every facet of human life and it’s impact on the planet.

So I often sit at the computer in the evening and thing “What do we want to talk about tomorrow? Politics? Consumerism? Fossil Fuels? Global Warming? Gold Mining? (You get the idea)

Well I have been doing something on Sundays called “Photo Sundays” and that has been very popular. I did a post this past Monday called Good News Monday and committed to only doing positive green news on Mondays, and yesterdays “Reuse-day Tuesday” article was a lot of fun.

So… in an effort to keep it simple, I’m thinking about devoting a green topic or genre to a specific day of the week. Here’s what I’m thinking.

  • Good News Monday – Who wouldn’t like a little good news on Mondays? We work hard to stay green. We might even fight the good fight in our own ways. Lets celebrate our victories with positive Green News on Monday.
  • Reuse-day Tuesday – “Reuse”, the left behind little sibling of the “Recycle-Reduce-Reuse” triplets. Tuesdays will be dedicated to what to, where to, when to, why to and how to Reuse almost everything or anything.
  • World Wide Wednesday- I’m an American, but the Environment is about the planet. So lets talk about what other countries are doing (or not doing) in reference to the Environment and Climate Change. We have a lot to learn from them, and many of them are leading the way.
  • Furs-day Thursday – Not just about saving the Wolves, but about all things Nature Related. We are avid hikers and kayakers, so you may see articles about our encounters with wildlife, trail journals from my Appalachian Trail hike, nature in peril…
  • Free for all Friday – This will be my opportunity to discuss anything else in the Envirosphere, from Green Politics, to Green Tech, Perhaps some video’s. Its a Free for all.
  • Action Day Saturday – An opportunity to find out how others are fighting the Green fight. Demonstrations, protesting, civil disobedience, petitioning… From the lime green center to the deep green left.
  • Photo Sunday – I’ll continue our Photo Sunday Tradition with Photo’s that I have taken, photo’s that others have taken and possibly even photos that readers submit. All Environmental or Nature Related.

I’ve always said that Twilight Earth isn’t about me. It’s about us. I welcome your input. Is this a format that you would like to see? Would it keep you coming back? Am I completely nuts?

What do you think?

I like your idea for changing the format of your blog. I especially like good news on Monday. And would like to be able to hear one new “re-using” story each week. Change is good…

Sounds good to me … can try again in 6 months if it’s not working ;-)

Adam – I don’t see this so much as a “change,” but more of an evolution now that you have some history under your belt and understand better what keeps your audience (and you!) engaged. I think all of us “newbies” are going through this process, and I’ve even seen some veterans doing it lately, like Aaron Brazell and Merlin Mann.

I like the structure – it makes sure you don’t overemphasise certain topics and neglect others.

I really like seeing stories about personal actions that other people can do – like your furniture refinishing one and the composting one.

Great stuff!

Becky, Thanks! I think I come up with a passable one every once in a while.

Thanks for commenting!

Roy,

I agree, evolution is a good word for it. You’ve got a solid, well written site going on and one of the things that I realize when I see sites like yours is that solid, simple content is the best way to go.

Thanks!

Darren,

Thank you. I’ve just gotten done adding the new pages to the Nav. Bar header and I’m really liking the way they look.

Now it’s all about populating them with archived articles and new ones.

Thanks for your input. (You also have a very solid site. Keep up the good work, I’ll be reading.)

Hello Adam, your idea is brillant. I will look forward to your new format and know it will be a breath of fresh air.
I know the feeling about offering fresh ideas, articles and comments on your blog. Your comments about being about the people is correct.
Keep up the good work and I will be contacting you next week. I would like for us to start a dialog.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks Adam! My site is pretty new, and I’ve got hundreds of ideas for posts and not enough time to write them all down.

I like your nav bar, it makes it easy to go back through a particular style of post.

Steve,

Thank you, that really means a lot to me. I’ve got a great core of regular readers here and I’m finding that as long as I keep the article coming with content and quality in mind, then together, we all tend to make a difference.

Ironically, I am a regular reader of Chemically Green, so was excited to hear from you. I look forward to our dialog.

I hope you and yours have had a good Thanksgiving. Mine has been lovely.

Darren,
It’s great being fired up, isnt it? There is no better feeling than having all these idea’s and not enough hours in the day to fulfill the need.
Keep up the good fight my friend, your doing a good job.

Yeah, it’s great to have the motivation. It’s frustrating to not have enough hours in the day, though :-) .
