Maintaining A Proper Blog

Alright, let me tell you a little secret about maintaining a proper blog. It's all about posts. If you don't post frequently no one is going to look at your blog. Keeping fresh content available for readers keep them coming back for more. They never know what's coming next but at least they know there's always something new, whether they agree or disagree, like or dislike, what you post is up in the air but at least you're doing your part by keeping the posts coming in.

Actually, the real truth to maintaining a proper blog is about internet connection. Back home I can jump on here and post away, fast and furious. Click the "publish post" button and it's automatic and dang near instantaneous. Post is on the blog, I'm back reading or surfing other web pages, I'm done for the day. I started my blog when I wasn't home...

Being a Navy Man, I have spent a better part of the past four years underway. Let me tell you a little something about the internet connection on Navy boats; it's practically non-existent. It's all about the bandwidth and we don't have much for personal pursuits such as surfing the internet or maintaining blogs. It's all about information flow for the battle space. Almost all bandwidth is used to bring in information that will help with maintaining a proper battle picture and being able to fight the ship. Maintaining a proper battle picture to know where everything and everyone is, that's the key to making sure that when the day is done your still floating and putting weapons down range.

But every now and then, when it's quiet and things have slowed down a bit, I get to squeak a post in...
