So check this out, I thought I had a couple of unfinished posts in Blogger in draft form that I needed to finish up and either delete or publish. Often I want to spend a little time blogging about an idea so I jot down the concept, but get interrupted by any number of things that .... hold on....
kidding.
A couple? Thirty to be exact over the past two years. Unbelievable. It always takes more time to write the you think it will (at least for me.) I am always thinking that I should do a podcast here as well, because I can talk, it's getting me to shut up that's the trick.
Anyway, the ideas in these posts range from why is Tom Friedman's back so popular, I couldn't even finish it, to Zoho is a great tool to create curriculum maps, to building interactivity in a course can be fun with web2.0 tools.
I think you know by now that I use writeboard to write posts (since it uses textile and I've supported textile on my site, I can keep the same formatting). Right now, I probably have at least 20+ titles (and some content) about things I want to post. Typically, though, I'll go through it every now and then and wipe out some of them. I figure if I really wanted to post about it, it will show face again.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, writing definitely takes longer than you'd think. If it's something with thought, I usually don't post it the same day I put it in writeboard, because I can be clearer if I let it set in my head for a day or two. Plus, it's always good to go over grammatical stuff...
I actually have a couple in Writeboard, a couple in Google Docs, and a couple in ScribeFire... quick somebody help me focus!
ReplyDeleteI think the process works well for you Ryan, your posts are always clear and well written. Thanks for the comment!
