For the last three days I’ve been holed up in my room trying to get rid of one of the worst cases of stomach flu I’ve ever had. I can’t remember the last time that it’s felt like I’ve been wrung out and then ran over a few times. When my wife asked, “What in the world have you come down with?”, the only answer I could muster was, “Death.”

Well, now that Death has seemed to loosen it’s grip on me and I’m beginning to feel better, I was feeling sorry for my countless readers out there who are missing my posts. This got me thinking of a post I read the other day on optiniche creatively titled “Make Time for Blogging with a Schedule”. While I won’t go over everything that Teli wrote in his post, I will say that it got me thinking that I need some backup posts for this blog in emergency situations so that I can have posts coming out on a regular basis. My current schedule is three times per week, Mon, Wed, Fri and will increase to 5 days and then seven. By that time I should have enough posts to be able to just repost old ones in a pinch, but until that time building up an inventory of posts to get me through another week like I just had would be good.

So my tip for today is: “Be prepared. Have backup posts.”
