Been quite lately

Other priorities on the mind for the beginning of 2010.
Well, as you may have noticed, I have been rather quite lately. As the new year started, the priorities had to shift a little to school, job, and other more important factors. I have been doing a bit of behind the scenes work, but it is far from known (to me) whether this work will pan out. Much of that work is in regards to the last post, the National Hurricane Conference. I’m also working on some business items which is just too boring to post about, it’s mostly me learning about business planning, and financing/budgeting.
Weather wise it has been quiet too, for the most part. We did have some icy precipitation last night and possibly some more a little further north and west of DC tonight. However, I doubt I’ll be driving out for any of this right now. Any coverage will be from the office, not from the road.
Lastly, I was a somewhat purposely not posting any blog updates as I wanted to gauge how the numbers play out when I don’t post. By the numbers I mean unique visitors. Learning the in and outs of web posting and SEO work, etc. really makes it interesting, but difficult to learn. I am finding I’ve made some pretty big errors about how to optimize capturing the search engines attention. It was so easy in the past, but now there are formulas and techniques that are very specific. I’ve lost some of my high rankings and need to recapture that traffic (although I’m still running higher than any other time in the past…by a almost 200%). However I’m still not at the level I need to be, especially if I want to recapture some of the funding for my sites with advertising.
Kinda unknown what the next few days and weeks will bring for postings. February should be active though, and certainly will be active with any major winter storm or other weather events locally (or regionally if major enough).
