Re-evaluating my podcast, blog, newsletter and myself

I haven't made an episode in a while, and for that, I am very sorry. Things are changing, and I'm hoping it's for the better, so what I've been doing hasn't been sustainable. I was trying to create a daily blog post and podcast while working full-time. I've attempted to bulk-create and schedule, but that only gets me so far until I have more time to do it again. I hope you can understand, and I hope you continue to follow, listen and support me. I appreciate all of you. If you enjoyed this trail...

Sadly, Joey Jordison has passed away at 46

Much like the passing of Chester Bennington, this has hit me hard. Slipknot has been a huge part of my metal discography, and Joey was an inspiration for me. His drumming abilities were incredible, and I always remember his drum solos played live on a twisting platform. Read more on my latest blog post .

Rank Math is my new favourite SEO WordPress plugin

Rank Math is a fantastic SEO plugin, and it’s relatively new in this space. I’ve been using Yoast SEO for years, and I really enjoyed their traffic light system. However, I spotted Rank Math in the list of WordPress plugins and decided to give it a try. In the past, I tried the All In One plugin, but I was not too fond of the lack of helpful steps that Yoast came with.

Not sure what to write today? Try using writing prompts.

For yesterday’s blog post , I had no idea what to write. I was sat there the day before thinking, “what can I write about today?”. I asked my wife for ideas, and she also had no idea. This was when I decided to go to Reddit, Twitter and a few other places to gain ideas. However, even though these usually work for me, I still had no idea what my next topic was. I then decided to search “writing prompts” to see what would happen. Take a look at writing prompts here , and the blog post for this epi...
