Trip report from the second month of the journey. In which we make our first tutorial and publicize our first posts with less than stellar results. Also, fun with numbers.

Travelogue

This is the second month on the journey. The big milestone of the month was completion and posting of the two post Rock, Paper, Scissors game series. Mid month, I also started working on learning how to promote posts and posting a not so successful announcement on reddit.com. While working on those posts, I put in place all the tools necessary to have a fully realized blog. The part of the month was spent configuring the blog to be able to highlight code snippets using highlights.js and finishing nailing down the authoring process. At the same time I switched to a new theme design in blogger to take advantage of their newer widget styles. Future work will bring back some of the special sauce in the prior theme. I also learned a lot about how to configure the look and feel of the blog. In the second half of the month I spent time creating an About page, all the legal writings, and the second Rock, Paper, Scissors Rust game post.

Future Plans

Promoting the second Rock, Paper, Scissors Rust game post is the first priority. After that, attention will turn back to the other side of the blog to create some more Journey post updates. Finally, after getting through those posts, we'll start work on the the next Rust post.
