New Saint Patrick Pages

In the last few days I have worked on adding two brand new pages to this blog on St. Patrick. They are Saint Patrick's Day Food and The Food and Drink Saint Patrick Consumed. They are a work in progress but I believe the completed versions will add further character to my book Patrick Warrior Saint.

As to the book itself I have finally edited the book to chapter 7. I have also decided to revisit my original timetable. Perhaps it would be better to launch the book next year in January? It would then be a new book just in time for Paddy's Day. I am still undecided on this, I have pushed so hard to have the book ready, should I just pause now?

New Page Topic for Saint Patrick

Having completed my Top 5 Myths of Saint Patrick page I will now progress onto a brand new page. Blogger allows up to ten additional pages and I intend to fill all ten by St. Patrick's Day 2011. The question I am trying to answer is the following.
Should I prepare a page on Saint Patrick next? Or a page on Patrick Warrior Saint, the book?
When I started this blog I was unsure as to where it would take me, it will be a journey and I am enjoying the trip. I never thought that I would complete pages on the historical Patrick but I do find his story fascinating and I would like to document his life in a simple to understand form.
As Ireland now slips further into the depression I also feel that I must also show what is great about this land, our culture, our heritage, our never give up spirit.
This blog is becoming more than I ever envisioned and despite the complications I am happy to continue, to do my best for Ireland.

Work Pressures

Due to a heavy workload my book is a little behind schedule. It looks like I won't make my end of month deadline to complete the edit. I am disappointed at this outcome but you know what, I have got to pick myself up and drive forward.
The good news is that I have selected a front cover image for my book and I am getting it for free!! The project to date has not cost me any money as promised.
Don't forget to check out my brand new second page, Top 5 Myths Saint Patrick. A concise, yet fun look at the popular St. Patrick myths.

Saint Patrick YouTube

As part of writing my book Patrick Warrior Saint I am trying to use the internet to reduce costs and improve communication. I have already blogged on how I have written this book at no cost and how I will publish the book for free. Now I want to write about how I plan to reach my audience through the wonders of modern communication.
Originally I had intended to set up a website for Patrick Warrior Saint and I was expecting to pay a substantial sum for a company to perform this service. However I do follow a number of blogs and I came to the realisation that I could have the same communication with a blog and they were free to set up!! Again having carried out some research on the net I decided Blogger was the best fit for me.
How do I get people to read my blog?
Well I am using a number of techniques to achieve this aim and over the next few blogs I will detail them here.
Firstly improve content as often as possible. I update my blog every day and after updating I use rss to send my posts out into the web. Feeddemon and Google Reader are two of the best sites.
I also need to make my blog multimedia rich, in my last post I added a YouTube video, this link details how to do so Blogger YouTube In the future I hope to add my own video in support of my new book on Saint Patrick.
