I’m a terrible blogger, my blog was last updated shortly after the second sack of Rome and I am ashamed.
But today an idea came to me: A blogging club.
I’d like to put out a blog once every fortnight, and I’d like you to write with me! If you’re having trouble getting a blog together or finding topics, this might be the motivation you need.
My plan is to decide as a group a general overarching topic for the next blog post and we all commit to putting it together in two weeks. Half way through the two weeks, we start deciding the next topic and so it continues. When the two weeks are up, we share the articles and discuss them, commenting etc as available.
My idea is to have the ideas be broad enough that we can all work to them (for example not everyone can blog about mobile testing, because we don’t all do that), but specific enough that the theme can be carried through several blogs.
I’d like to start this on 2018-05-01, with a first publishing date of 2018-05-13.
If enough people join in, I’d like to get a slack channel devoted to it
My first idea for a topic is “technical tip that every tester should know”
If anyone would like help and support with blogging I am happy to help. Advice for how to start, keep going, getting views on your content etc. Likewise with video and any other branding via social media.
