For whatever it is worth, I have my opinions on the way the blogosphere works. In the design and web development industry, there are a few things I can’t seem to understand. As a new blogger, there are a few items that I will stick to that I feel are standards bloggers should adopt.

1. I will not write a “list post” in which I either aggregate 20 best-of’s across the internet or summarize 10 quick tips.
2. I will refrain from using the phrases “An introduction to” or “Getting started with” in any of my titles.
3. I will ensure that the topics I present promote only healthy discussion.

The thing about list posts and intro tutorials is that we already have sites for that. Everyone and their mother has a website that “delivers the latest design and web development content”.

I Have Been There

The blogs that were teaching me inspired me when I started learning about the web. I wanted to teach, write, and have a popular, “well-read” blogazine. Then I realized that there are TONS of people that also want the same thing for fame, fortune, or enjoyment. So for now I am sticking to just learning.

I’m not here to change the world. I’m here because I have opinions to share and things to teach! Soon there will be some original content and new ideas. I only felt a need to proclaim that I will have a purpose beside regurgitation.
