Background - last summer, I had a sulk regarding my blog, suspended it and tried doing the same sort of thing with a website. Some months later it was clear to me that blogs and websites each have their strengths and weaknesses and that basically, nothing performs quite as well as a blog than a ........ blog!
So, I restarted the blog, which I use for my game related articles - so what to do with the paid for web site? (Commanders web pages)
Bit by bit, I have been trying to give the website a new role and that conversion has mostly taken place now. Today I started a new page there called Project Status. The idea is that on a single page, there will be a monthly entry showing the status and plans for various projects and since each page is allowed to hold 14 entries, over time there will be a revolving yearly account of progress.
The main motivation for this page is to put me under some discipline to actually get more done by being more accountable to myself (avoiding the embarrassment of having a void month). It will also increasingly link across to what is happening in the blog, so that the Commanders web site and the blog complement each other.
Anyway, this is now longer than I wanted it to be, but here is my initial progress post. I suppose it will take a few months to become more meaningful.

Looks interesting as always Norm.

Yep interesting idea

Will continue to follow the developments in your approach with great interest. I suffer from poor organization of the blogs that I do and keep evolving in my approach(s). Have tried to make my primary blog a hybrid blog and website (using a web of pages) but the management has proven to be Byzantine. Your approach may be the solution.
Nice idea, Norm.
