SOME RANDOM DUDE

So it is a Thursday and there are still no posts on Some Random Dude for this week. What gives? Well, I am most certainly writing and putting together a collection of posts and (believe it or not) real articles. However, I am holding onto them until the month of May where I will (hopefully) be pushing much more in-depth content on a weekly basis than any other month I have blogged. The reason for this is that May is going to be a special month of Comment Love, where the maximum donation will up increased to $100. This means that we will need 200 comments during the month of May to hit the goal. Considering the highest month of comments was a little over 100, I am really going to have to work for those 200 comments.

To get the roughly 50 comments a week, the following must happen:

1. I will need to produce some really good articles - probably more frequent than on a weekly basis.
2. I will need serious help from readers like you to not only comment, but to encourage others to comment as well
3. The month of May must have exceedingly above-average traffic

The only thing that is truly in my control is the first item, so I am working hard to make that happen. If all goes well, I will have some pretty cool stuff coming out in May (fingers crossed). I will be finishing up projects that I swore I would complete and finish articles I swore I would write in order to make this happen. However, to do this, the rest of April is going to have to suffer a bit. I should still be able to put the weekly photograph and the weekly links up, but not much else.

Just a quick update.

I am going to miss you 36Clicks, but you were just too high maintenance and I frankly did not have the time to deal with you. I still think the idea of a photoblog was great, I simply just do not have enough cycles to devote time to two blogs. What resulted was a half-baked photoblog that was never fully completed and less posts on this one.

So, 36Clicks will be retired and the Photograph of the Week will be coming back. The more things change, the more they stay the same…36clicks, blogs, half baked, high maintenance, photoblog, photograph Photography
