I now use Scrivener to manage my blog

Folder

for each month

Document

is a post

Synopsis

Where I add the date of the post, so I can scroll down the documents on the left and see the dates on the right. That way I don’t have to date the name of the post — too much information in one spot. Now both sides are clear and easy to read.

Metadata

Keywords = the CATS (categories) and TAGS of the post

Status and Label

STATUS = standard options (I could EDIT them, but I am using them as they are; otherwise, I would spend time on something that’s unnecessary at this moment):

No Status — To Do — In Progress — First Draft — Final Draft — Done — Edit

(Actually =) I don’t use them.)

LABEL = standard options are colors (I could EDIT them, but … as above). Using GREEN for posts already on site. (Ditto)
