I appreciate your comment and agree with you about posting every day. It could be that I'm not working hard enough on the blog, but it doesn't really feel that way. I feel better about my decision to no longer post a digest of my tweets here. You and Sire agreed publicly and I've had several people contact me privately and agree, also. I'm considering adding those types of posts to my musings blog, after I have the time to update it. I had a couple of people tell me they're missing those digests, but who agreed that they don't belong on this blog. Come back any time. I welcome your comments. Act on your dream! JD Welcome, Yan.

I guess great minds think alike, even if it takes time to get there.

Welcome to the club of those who don’t post everyday. For me, I write because there is something need to be written and not because it’s the right thing to do.

The main reason I decided not to use it on this blog was because of the way they framed my blog on their site. I don't want that. I want people who click on a link in my Twitter stream to come directly to my blog. I'm still an affiliate, but I only promote it to people who contact me looking for a solution to the situation you described. Have you seen the Squidoo lens I built about this?

I think I made the right choice, too. I try not to annoy my readers. Sure, some are interested in parts of what I write about, others in different parts, but there's no point in annoying the majority - and I suspect posting those tweets to my blog were doing just that. I'm always welcome feedback and opinions. Please feel free to comment about anything here. I may agree or disagree, but I'll always listen. Act on your dream! JD Thanks for your comment, Sire.

Personally, I'm not crazy about it, but I'm going to leave it up for a little bit because I like that I don't have to copy and paste my links to Twitter, plus I am an affiliate for the product. But if I figure out a way to eliminate the posts on my blog, I'll be doing it. Stay tuned,...

I know I can set a time for new posts to be published at a later date, but I've never used that feature. Maybe I need to consider it. I ask myself two questions, actually. 1. Do I have anything to say? 2. Is it substantive? Sometimes I post things that aren't very substantive, but I try not to do that too often. Act on your dream! JD Hi Katinka,

Thanks for your comment; it’s always appreciated.

I set them to be posted later, so there is a nice rythm to the posts. As for posting daily: depends on the blog. I have one blog where that has become the rythm - on others I don't think it's important enough. It does depend partly on the answer to the question: do I have anything new to say?
