I just ran into this wonderful blog, and am reading the author’s description of the , process he uses to create his blog. I have to admit, the blog is amazing, the images stunning, and the writing crisp. But on the other hand, I can’t imagine doing anything like his process, because by the time I am done, I will be celebrating new decade.
So here is how he does it: the blog is conceived from a daily activity recorded in images. He first selects quality images which tell a story, or individual images of such beauty that stands on its own. He edits the pictures and arranges them to tell the story, and uses scripts to move them to the server. Then the writing step starts – the prose is written and the images arranged in the right order to match the text. Image captions are added, followed by proof reading, corrections and spell checking, several times if necessary. The final step is the sipping of a cold beer, but not before a lot more drudgery that you will have to read in the original post.
I think the result is amazing, but I still prefer my own method – skip the images, write the text, proof, spell check, and publish. Not as elegant, but no no one reads these posts anyway, and those who do have not complained so far, so it must be good enough…
Cheers!
