@Tibi: Sounds “corporate”!

@stfalx: Thanks. I’ve submitted the design almost 3 months ago, so just imagine the “waiting list”.

@Eric: Welcome back. I was actually wondering where you were since I didn’t see any of your posts on D.O.’s blog. Good to have your great comments back and looking forward to reading your new blog. Good luck with your freelance career!

Sorry I disappeared for a while. I’ve been transitioning from working for a company to now building up my own base of freelance clients.

Anyway, I like the article. The thing that is key is you really have to take command of your blog if you want to have any chance of sticking out in the crowd. It’s too easy just to write rehashed posts with the same opinions over and over. Instead, it’s like you said. We have to set the bar higher and try to achieve new things with our writing. Keep up the good work!

A lot of us started as something else, when it comes to blogging. Three years and a half ago, the purpose was way different that it is now. But a constant tricky issue was, as you said, handling the large amount of new info rushing in everyday, selecting what’s relevant, understanding and implementing trends, knowing when to simply skip a new tool.

But it’s been loads of fun all the way
