Welcome to Sauce of the Day!

I’ve been checking out our traffic lately, and it sucks. So instead of finding new videos to post, I’ve been looking at ways to expand and stay focused at the same time. I really contradicted myself in that statement but let me explain. To this point, the majority of our content is just videos off YouTube. While this is a good and easy way to add new content, none of it is really unique and coming from us. The only thing that you’ve got from us is “Hey I thought this video was funny or awesome”, nothing more.

So where I’ve been is off brainstorming some ways to write and create some original content. One thought was to create a comic series depicting events in my life or the other admins live’s. I tossed this idea out because I draw like a 5 year old and what happens to me may not be interesting to you.

One idea I am seriously considering is a “How To” section. Basically we’d choose a task and one of us or all of us will describe how we would go about tackling that task. We could take visitor ideas on this as well. It would be a good way for visitors to interact with us.

Something else I’m looking into is a section with music.  Not sure what it would be yet, but it would be something like a weekly playlist.  What we are listening to or our top songs.  More to come on this I guess.

Initially we set up a bunch of categories for us to file posts into, but really most of them go under Random. I’m looking into removing some of the categories to get more focused. I don’t feel like theres a point in having a category that has 5 posts in it and then another that has 100+. Things need to be a bit more balanced. So we’d remove some of the video categories and add some categories for articles we write. So that’s what I mean when I say expand and focused at the same time.

I’ve noticed the the site runs sloooowwwww at times. I think it might just be because we use GoDaddy as our host. I also thought it might be the theme is too image intensive, but I reverted to the default WordPress theme and it was barely quicker. But before I did that test I was working on a new theme that minimizes the number of images needed. It probably won’t get rolled out for awhile, but I really like the way it looks so it will be used in the future.

So that’s what I’ve been up to.
