U: Update. Update everything and often. Update all my online profiles. Update all the pages on my blog. Update this blog in so many ways. I'm going to update my author's page on Amazon. I'm going to update some promotional items languishing in my desk. Changing things around on this blog may help bring readers back time and time again.
I'm going to update my friends list on Facebook. Early on I accepted just about any friends. I need to whittle that list down. I'm going to post more on Twitter more even though I'm not a fan. As I told you on letter E, I'm also going to update the equipment I use to write with. Don't worry, you all will be some of the first to know when I get a new computer. I'm going to update my list of online review sites. The list could go on and on but my point is there are tons of updates I can be constantly doing but I put them off for a day when I have more time. That time will come in June.
How often do you update your blog(I don't mean new posts) or website? Do you keep all those different profiles you have online somewhere up to date?

A couple of times a year I update what I can, or whenever I see something. With tabs on my blog which contains links to various posts, I keep updating and adding the most recent (Paris posts and Book Reviews tabs are being updated ongoing). You've reminded me that there are a few I DO need to update soon.
A good post to remind us Updating keeps us fresh. . .
Nice U word post!
I try to keep my blog updated. Right now the page with blogger buddy's books needs work though.
I try to keep things updated and cleaned out - just cleaned out a bunch of old emails. I have notes in my To Do app that repeat, like clean out my writing inbox every two weeks, etc. Even if I don't do it right then, I still see the note and will get to it. Eventually.
It's also sometimes just a feeling or noticing, like - "Hmm, it's been awhile since I put up a photo on the blog of the tortoises." etc. :)
I don't update as often as I should. For example, my answering machine message lists all the members of our family, except our son, and he's three.
There are always things that fall through the cracks. This is a good reminder to check all of those About Me places and Update. They are often "Out of Sight, Out of Mind."
Sigh, updating is on my to-do list as well. There doesn't seem to be enough time to get it all done. But we can always aspire, right?
Because of updating, I restrict my online presence to Blogger, twitter, Facebook and Goodreads. There are so many platforms out there, but you just can't do them all.
I try and have the same profile on each as well, so when I have news or a new release, it is easier to update. I also check things one a month.
It has to be done!
I need to update my Reader when the A to Z is over. It's a bit of a mess right now.
I'm really not good at updating things, so other than posts and comments my blog is not updated that often--maybe a few times a month.
I like to update my blog's look about once a year...just to keep things fresh :)
Nothing wrong with changing things up, now and then.
I need to remember to keep my profile bios updated. I'm really bad about that and often forget. Things change and I need to remember my bios when that happens.
I don't do a very good job keeping my info updated, but perhaps I will do it in May. Sounds like an excellent idea.
I'm great at keeping some things up to date, but horrible with other things. I'm not sure if that's a sign of some profiles I should let go of, or if those profiles are important enough that I should try to keep them updated.

I love updating my social media. Just like moving furniture in my house, I like to move things around on my website, facebook, twitter, etc.

I can't help updating my website frequently! A little tweak here, and another one there. Haven't done much while I was doing the A to Z challenge though, the post frequency has kept me busy enough!

Finding the time to update is so very difficult. I have not updated many things in a very long time. Unfortunately.
I don't update a lot but I think I should get another thumb drive to store food and pup pictures. Just in case the computer crashes again.
