Having a schedule is a great way to keep ourselves focuses and on track. That said, if we don't have any particular goals with a site, then a schedule isn't going to help much :roll: I agree.

I just have to remember to leave time for it in my day-to-day schedule. That said, having a bit of a scheduled time for it is a great approach rather than just trying to squeeze it in here and there!

I'd completely forgotten about that, as many people tend to see blogging as a non-paying job after the first year :roll: Knowing you, your site will become a great site for everyone who's looking to learn something new while having fun. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help :grin: Ah, yes … the “enjoyment factor” strikes again.

At the moment, I've still got a lot of work to do to cover the whole curriculum on one particular website, but when it's finished I hope it will be a favorite among teachers, parents, search engines and sponsors! ;) In addition to what you said, I do it because I enjoy it, and I’ll do it until I’m satisfied they are complete.

How often would kids (or parents) look for tools to help them study during the "off season" ? If I may ask, what's your reason for building content? Aside from the obvious desire to give existing visitors a reason to come back and a better opportunity with organic search results :wink: I can certainly see that being the case with your educational sites, Nick.

In the past, I've always used holiday periods to build as much content as I can, though that's changed a bit now with my new schedule.
