Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (01.06.10): Packing It In Note the date! There will not be any episodes released in December.  I’m taking the month “off” to build up a stockpile of episodes.  Even though I won’t be releasing episodes, I will still be working on them. Make sure to come back in January.

Ramblings: Yes, it is true: I’m not releasing any episodes in December.  This is to give myself a bit of a break and to help create some breathing room between working on episodes.  Plus, I know I’ll be busy because of the holidays and not having to worry about releasing episodes on top of everything will be nice. This was a bittersweet episode to make, as it means the last time a couple of characters will appear.

Schedule change-episodes on wednesdays

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

I decided last night that I’m going to release the next podcast episode on Wednesday (11.11.09).  A friend who specializes in Internet marketing, etc. told me that the best days for Web traffic are Tuesday through Thursday.  Makes sense.

I’m curious to see if releasing an episode in the middle of the week will make much of a difference in my own traffic.  Considering I only release stuff every other week, this is probably a good idea–as not too many people check websites on Sundays.

This also gives me the whole weekend to finish an episode if I don’t have it done in time.  Come back on Wednesday!
