Around the Horn Friday… Moving to Sunday
No, you didn’t miss it. Our founder here at Delaware Liberal, the pure evil Jason330, started the Around the Horn column by placing it on a Friday. I felt, as I took it over, that we should continue posting it on a Friday. But as I thought about it… why Friday? It is the end of the work week, sure, but aren’t we all interested in doing things other than sitting in front of a computer on a Friday? Wait. Don’t answer that.
Well, I have decided to move the column to Sunday afternoon for a selfish reason (I am too busy and tired to put this together Thursday night or during the day on Friday) and for a noble (I think) one (I think more people will be able to read it on a Sunday afternoon. In case you haven’t noticed, our weekend posts have focused on weekly features. Bulo’s excellent “Music for the Masses” and “Read All About It Sunday Papers” columns have become mainstays of your Delaware Liberal weekend experience, and I think “Around the Horn” will round out that nicely. Plus, we tend to reflect on the week just past on a Sunday as we prepare for the next. So it fits.
So if you were looking for ATH tonight or earlier today, don’t worry, you didn’t miss it and I didn’t decide not to publish it in a Delaware-Demian temper tantrum.
See ya Sunday. But not before I see you tomorrow at Twin Lakes! If you don’t come, you are a communist, or something.
Oh, ‘fess up: you were just to busy on Friday! That, and you were busily searching for a Michael Vick Eagles jersey to buy.
Actually, in one way it’s not the best idea to move it to Sunday: a lot of bloggers are far less productive on the weekends, and I wouldn’t be surprised if your own traffic drops on Saturdays and Sundays.
Actually, it matters not that bloggers are less productive on weekends, since “Around the Horn” covers the entire week. So that will not affect the column. Indeed, by posting ATH on Sunday, I increase my own productivity on the weekend and it may increase our traffic on the weekend, instead of dropping it (in fact, I don’t see how our traffic can drop just by placing ATH on the weekends).
But, I will give you one: yes, I was too busy on Friday. I am always too busy on Friday. That is the real reason. 🙂
Change is good.
