I have been thinking about that too. And I think it is certainly possible to be in several phases at once. Most of all because there are cycles within cycles, as each phase has its own cycle.

And certain blogs are the definition of a certain phase. A technical blog falls into phase 6, as a design blog falls into phase 7. That is their focus, but also a technical blog needs a design.

And the designing phase of that blog might also go through those phases. Some very quickly and hardly noticable while others take much longer or even might get stuck.

I found this list very intriguing, and one I would like to come back to again in the future.

Is it possible to be in several phases at once?

Good point perseverance, indeed very important in the blogging process. But I am not yet sure where it belongs. My first thoughts would be phase 2, 6 or 10 (the earthsigns) but I have to think about that further.

Thanks all for the comments. I am so glad you more or less recognised the steps. Or to see where others stand in the process. I will have to give it all some more thought, especially the words to use with each step.

I agree with all of your list, still may I be allowed to add perseverance on your list. :-)

Wow, such a great list. I think that the last point about compassion is so true. I think a lot of major bloggers need to be more compassionate.

All steps have good moments to enjoy. I guess I’m around the middle of the process, so now I know better what is coming next.

‘Skipping’ and ‘bouncing’ is indeed exactly what I am also doing. And I am mostly bouncing with certain phases. I also have different blogs that ‘belong’ to different phases, while others still never have been covered. Must go look into it further.

This is an interesting list, some of them I would not have thought of and but I found informative. I have been blogging for over 3 years and I feel I am still bounce back and forth on some of these.

That’s an interesting list of steps. I can see that I’ve been through many of them, but they kind of swirl for me, overlapping each other and freely skipping from one to the next. Good stuff to think about.
