Second Week Notes

Another week is drawing to a close, and it has been fun for me. I hope all of you have enjoyed it as well. I wanted to be sort of lazy tonight and not write a well-thought-out piece, so here is some info and news about the future of this site.

1. Podcasts will be coming soon. A couple of years ago, I did a podcast which I also called the MiloCast. I will be re-releasing those files, as well as new ones. The new ones will be audio versions of some of the articles on this site, and maybe little extras as well.

2. Comments no longer require registration. I have had to add a “captcha” tool, but that’s pretty standard and helps avoid spam.

3. If you have enjoyed any of my posts, please tell a couple of your friends. I’d like to see more lively debate in the comments to the posts. Especially now that it’s easier to leave a comment.

4. Where’s the feedback? I haven’t heard any comments from anyone except a few of the people I personally invited to the site. Maybe the blog is too new, but I figure I must have said something that some of you really loved or really hated by now. You can leave comments, or see the “About” page at the top to get my e-mail address.

5. How is everyone liking the frequency of the posts? On the one hand I want to update often so the site doesn’t get boring, and you keep coming back. On the other hand, I like to write original, well-thought-out articles which will remain relevant for longer than the latest Paris Hilton gossip. I’d like to see the discussion threads for some of the posts go on for days or longer; just because I’ve put up newer posts does not mean that I have abandoned the older ones.

Thanks for coming back to view my articles. I can’t wait to see where this blog and community end up in the coming months.

    I think you might want to link out to other sites where it will help to elaborate. This can help garner some higher Google ranking and more of those outsider visits that you’re looking for. Other then maybe some images here and there, I’d say give it time.

    Thanks for the comment. I was thinking about putting up some pictures, but I don’t have anything relevant yet. I will post more links also — it will help give people background on the subjects I discuss.
