Incidentally, I recommend the above article to everyone who hasn't read it yet, since it already addresses many of the issues raised here. I also devoted a whole chapter to the subject of money in my book. |
I think the tricky "your blog isn't a book" gremlin shows itself again re: people being confused. It must be pretty frustrating to have so much content on your blog readily available but no decent system to link it together in a cohesive format that doesn't put restrictions on how you're able to post content.
It's kind of sad that you might be participating within the forums less, since your posting here creates a nice bridge between your blog as well as your new ideas (or, at least, more clarified, elegantly expressed versions of things you've already written about), which really does a good job of mitigating the disadvantages of blogging (i.e. the iterative nature and how it gives rise to no real comprehensive high level to low level implementation that's easy to follow). But all in the quest of greater contribution, I guess. Clearly the answer is that in addition to consulting, you just need to write more books. (I love how I make that sound so easy.
)
Seriously though, I wonder if something can't be done to more effectively bridge content that is specifically related, such as your most recent article we're discussing in this thread, and the thread you linked to. (And I'm talking only direct relations. All your articles are related, but others have more direct relations than others.)
(On a side note: I don't know if you've noticed, but the way we're replying to these threads is sort of interesting. With one group of people, it's like a sort of one-to-many real-time chat that's between a few people, but available to everyone. With another group, it's like more of a one off thing post, and yet another group, more like... well, kind of like a turn based chess game over a period of months.
So many different means of communication within the one system--the forum--sure makes for some interesting and lively conversation. At least, I'm enjoying it.)
