Protocol Update: Backwards Compatibility
Here is a quick update while I'm on vacation this week:
We are already on week four of the new version of the Steel Orca newsletter and are now on the fourth iteration of its structure and layout. If you're one of the few who have been following along, the tweaks have been minor but consistent, leading me to need to go back to previous posts and adjust them to reflect the most up-to-date post layout/structure.
That's the thing about a blog site like this, though, is that, despite me sending this out as a newsletter each week, I can also go back into the posts and update them as I like, thus hopefully improving the experience for the people who read the posts in subsequent weeks (as well, hopefully, as SEO). We'll see. That's why, as I said above, feedback is essential.
I spent the last weekend updating my Twitter profile/header/bio, hoping to use that platform for more effective marketing. I have only been using it cursorily and got almost 500 views of my Tweet highlighting last week's post (including likes from four of the five mentioned artists), so there's something there. Again, just like this newsletter, the key seems to be consistency (even above quality, as counter-intuitive as that might be).
Anyway, all of that to say, if you'd like more content from us here at Steel Orca, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, as we will be more active on those channels moving forward to solidify our audience further.
That said, enjoy Sonic Canvas, and we hope you have a great week.
