It’s Sunday again.
Today is slightly different. It is a public holiday and in SA it means the next day becomes the public holiday (the day off I mean). I’m unsure about other countries and their amount of public holiday but we rank fairly high in terms of public holidays, I think.
A more chilled vibe than the usual rush to finish everything and get ready for the next day. I’m working tomorrow but only half day. Until two o’clock.
I spent the day with my brother and some friends around the D&D role playing game. Breaking from my normal routine on a Sunday was worth it. Saw a really cool games room (will take more photos next time around) and this inspired many thoughts in me.
No website.
For all the power of the website it is still at the mercy of servers and a hosting company. I had an unforeseen outage and couldn’t access mine until earlier this morning. Thanks to the people working behind the scenes to get everything back online but it made me think:
If my website isn’t guaranteed to be online always, what are my options?
A question which might not need an answer really. But if you’re not doing the social media thing or even the newsletter thing but you’re focused on your website as your main “base of operations” if you will; what happens if it goes down?
Perhaps a combination is best – website, your newsletter platform of choice and one social media channel [where you don’t scroll to death but merely share and then logout].
Also, make your website your home page [if you haven’t already]. This way you see what your community sees and if it’s down you’ll know about it quickly.
Photos to sell.
I’ve narrowed down the photos I’ll be adding to my online store. Most of them are from my first few years doing street photography. Once they are online I’ll share the link here & on Substack.
In closing.
It’s all I’ve got for now. Looking forward to more writing tomorrow, half day at work gives me a few extra hours in which to do this. Hope you’re having / had a great Sunday.
Thanks for reading : )
