41 random notes on blogging
by Hugh MacLeod (via Martin Stabe). Worth the read, even though it's longer than I'd like.
Some, but not all, I agree with:
20. Blogging will never be a mainstream activity so long as being able to write [A] well and [B] often and [C] about stuff THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE about remain the main barriers to entry.
21. Barely a week goes by without me contemplating permanently turning off the comments.
29. Sixty million blogs. Sixty million business models.
31. If you ever forget your manners, you will pay, and quickly.
I disagree with some, too, including #41.

Speaking of random notes, I have noted that my blog is not listed in your links.

All you had to do was ask, Samuel.

Alright. And you can call me Sam.

Since Sam raised the subject of linking to blogs, this is to inform you that I've decided to waive my normal linking fees for links to my blog originating from the News-record.com. This offer will be in effect for 30 days.
