There’s a system for everything…
I’ve been working on streamlining how I get content into my blog. Here’s the work flow.
- I type up the blog in plain text using VoodooPad Lite
- I then take that raw content into skEdit and then apply any HTML markup required. Links etc. I use the snippets feature to make that as easy as possible. e.g If I want to make an affiliate link to amazon.co.uk I select the copy I want to be the link then hit alt + apple + a and it wraps all my predefined copy around my selected copy and places the cursor at the bit in the HREF where I just need to paste in the ASIN code number. Pretty sweet. I’ve got snippets for making up regular links and for quickly formatting the copy.
- Paste the resulting code into my CMS.
That’s it. Using this simple 3 point plan I can, hopefully, avoid some of the of the nastier typos that I have published in the past.
