I received
an IM from Bruce
Elgort today letting me know there
was an issue with the old main page link for my site that some people still
used. So Steve
went at it again and fixed that and the archiving. Basically his
next step is to put out some more features and functions with more documentation.
But
onto the main topic of the day that Bruce brought up. He mentioned
that the blog is a piece of 'me' and it's presentation should be treated
as such. He brings up that my blog is part of 'my industry' and image.
I think what I type is more of my image and everyone knows that the
blog code is developing. Still in it's infancy and growing more than
daily, it seems hourly. Is my image tarnished if I put a comma instead
of a semi-colon ? More than likely you don't know me well then, because
I tarnish it just fine without punctuation errors. :-) LOL
Simple
things like paragraph indents and spacing. (We won't include spelling as
I actually spellcheck here where I never would in quick IM's) I
have a habit of making a double space when I change thoughts to let the
reader know we are changing gears. Then sometimes I don't feel like
an indent if continuing on. Just the way I talk as I write.
So
my questions are as follows:
- Is proper paragraph formatting required for a blog?
- Is spacing an issue?
- Does it matter if I choose to jump an extra line or not indent?
Is the blog not just an extension of the personality? Or has mine become a humor and news source for many? The hits keep increasing and the emails and IM's do also, so I know the traffic increases. But do you come here for the way I write, what I have to say, or how it looks when I say it?
Bruce passed on the thoughts the code should be stable and bug free also. I agree bugs can be hard to deal with, but I am a willing beta participant with Steve and love his code.
But I digress, sorry for the self-reflective moment. The reflecting pool is getting cloudy with tomorrow's topic of messaging policies in your child's school.
