With university exams done and dusted I'm finally able to spend more time on my blog, creating and sharing content that I love. There's something about having a schedule written out for all to see that puts my mind at ease so here's what you can (hopefully) expect from me in the future. Please let me know what you think!
You may have noticed my face popping up more often on your blog feeds and email subscriptions this week so here's a little bit of an update. A couple of months ago I posted about how I would need to blog less because of university exams and that, in a way, brought me to a halt. Once I had finished my exams I didn't really know what to do, how to start up a blogging routine once more and how to feel re-inspired. A week later, I feel like I've finally got my thoughts together and have decided on a schedule that I feel will work for me and that I hope you will look forward to! Last month I changed my upload time, not for any reason in particular but just because I felt like I wanted change. I'm not too sure how much an upload time really matters to many people, I know I personally don't sit ready and waiting for a blog post in the morning but I just come across them later on in the day. For as long as I can remember I had been posting at 8AM but I've been uploading at 9AM over the past month or so and I haven't noticed any drastic differences so I'm going to keep it that way.
Not only that, currently, you can see my most recent Instagram images at the top of my homepage, you'll find my most recent outfits from Instagram ready-to-shop here, my current wishlist here and all my usual fashion, beauty, lifestyle and travel content - the only thing missing is the ability to watch my videos directly on my blog. So from now on, you'll be able to watch my weekly videos here too! The first of which you will see on Sunday. I want to start sharing my videos with you here in the hope that my blog will become a hub for all things Peexo. I hope that's something you'll enjoy and you'll be able to find everything you're after in one place. As always, I'm open to hearing your feedback on this so please let me know whether it's something you'll be pleased to see or you'd rather me leave my videos on YouTube only. Let me know if you're keen on seeing more from me or if you think 5 uploads a week is too much (or perhaps too little?) Let me know as well what your thoughts are on video shares - are you keen on the idea or would you rather watch my videos on my YouTube channel?
For any of you who love a schedule as much as I do then here's what I'm aiming for...
Sunday, 9AM
A new YouTube video will go live on my channel;
you'll be able to watch the video on both my blog and YouTube channel.
Please don't forget to subscribe if you're not yet subscribed!
Monday, 9AM
A new blog post will go live;
appearing on my blog/external feeds as it normally would.
Tuesday, 9AM
The second of my weekly blog posts will go live.
Wednesday, 9AM
The third of my weekly blog posts will go live.
Thursday, 9AM
The fourth, and final, of my weekly blog posts will go live.
Your thoughts mean a lot to me so please do let me know. In the meantime, let's call this a month's trial to see how things go so please do leave your feedback!

I honestly can't keep up with 4-5 blog posts a week, 2-3 would be enough personally, especially when there's videos to catch up on too. I love your posts and videos, but that many a week is just too many to keep up with! Your choice at the end of the day :)

That's super interesting to read Isobel! I totally get what you're saying, I sometimes feel overwhelmed with how much content I have to catch up on - definitely going to take this in to consideration. I think I'm going to trial 4 blog posts/1 video a week throughout June and see how I find it! X
DeleteI love your outfit sooo much! All black is always great! I love the blouse and the culotte :-*

Thanks Melanie! I rarely wear all black believe it or not but for some reason I've been gravitating towards black this spring X
DeleteIt's been a lovely surprise getting a blog post from you everyday this week and personally I'd love it to continue, my only worry would be the amount of work involved for you. You need to make sure you take some time for yourself and enjoy the summer. Most of the bloggers I follow only post once a week so twice seems like a luxury, four times plus a video is positively decadent!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a really good idea to have your videos on your blog for the people who don't have e-mail alerts for your videos, personally I always click the link in the e-mail, but I know I miss lots of videos from YouTubers I follow but don’t have alerts turned on for. I don’t think posting times matter too much, people read/view what's available when they check in, for me it’s usually between 6:30 - 7:30pm on weekdays.
My one, tiny, criticism of your new blog design is the size of the permanently-on menu bar across the top of the screen. I have a 13” Mac and feel it takes up too much of the screen when I’d prefer to be looking at your photos, are you able to make it smaller?
Really looking forward to the next few weeks of your trial schedule, take care. Pixie xxx
Thank you so so much for your in-depth comment Pixie, I really appreciate it! I used to post every weekday and it was my favourite in terms of pushing content and I felt the most inspired then, it's been a while since and I just want to get back to that time where I was feeling really inspired in terms of content and ideas. Of course, I will always only ever do as much as I can!
DeleteThat's what I was thinking, I have a video section on my blog which redirects to YouTube but I wondered whether having the video embedded would be the easiest way to reach everybody who visits my blog. I'm trialling it in a few ways this month so on Sunday's there will be a new post which ties in with my weekly video so we'll see how it goes!
That's very interesting Pixie! Thank you for letting me know, I also have a 13" mac and I think I'm just so used to seeing the menu bar I hadn't even noticed how large it is. I will definitely look into it.
Thank you so much for such an in-depth comment, I really appreciate it! Xx
I'm so excited for you videos and the next blog posts,can't wait
