I have many years of blog content. It is hard for me to find posts because I have too many categories (over 200) and an idiosyncratic way of organizing them. No wonder I get emails and DM's from folks telling me they can't find a particular blog post. That's a river of blog resources, why add to it? More >> Places.

The easiest way of adding new content on to your site is by creating a blog. Blogs are, ideally, short and sharp snippets of commentary that are updated regularly. The beauty of a blog is that you don’t need to write a lot – you just need to make sure that what you do write is of interest to your supporters!
