I mean, given lets say 10 hours of work a day, how?! Well now i know. What intrigues me more is how you manage your time. Care to share? http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment14http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment14Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:15:52 GMTI like the idea of pushing out posts and then fixing them later on and this is something that I do as well although I'm not yet at your posting level yet! As some others have mentioned, if you spend all your time trying to make posts perfect then you'll never post them in the first place. I also find that writing about stuff makes me understand it better so if nothing else it's worth going through ideas just for that. Cool post.

Real work will started on that this week http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment11http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment11Sun, 30 Aug 2009 16:03:10 GMTWhat happened with your posts on Macto? Is that project still in the works? http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment10http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment10Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:06:40 GMTThe general idea that I have formed from the writings of some of the more prominent and regarded bloggers is that the art of blogging comes down to efficiently communicating a point and not agonising over the accuracy of every detail or fearing the judgement of others. It is more important to get ideas out to be digested and responded to. Sometimes it means letting go of some internal feelings of inadequacy. This is to be expected in a community that is full of people with exceptional skill, who constantly forge ahead developing new and innovative technologies. Most importantly, a blog should be seen as a way to develop yourself and your ideas. If you don't get that from your writing then maybe it's just not for you. Take it from me, until I can let go of my perfectionist attitude, it's not for me either. http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment9http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment9Sun, 30 Aug 2009 07:26:19 GMTPhil, I market myself, my ideas and my software. And yes, I am a consultant as well http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment8http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment8Sun, 30 Aug 2009 06:52:31 GMTInteresting post. I often wonder how people who blog so much (with good content) manager to do so. Can you elaborate on: "The blog is my marketing effort, so to speak. And it is an effective one." What do you market with your blog? You mean the open source projects that you work on? Or are you a consultant as well? http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment7http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment7Sat, 29 Aug 2009 22:18:42 GMTHmmm, I should try scheduling in weekend blogging. http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment6http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment6Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:41:08 GMTRay, I have been a teacher in some form or another for the last 8 years. http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment5http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment5Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:19:27 GMTGuess it's more a matter of the mindset. You have a natural ways of speaking out loud your thoughts. You probably could easily teach students if you wanted to. http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment4http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment4Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:09:02 GMTHi, I think blogging is an integral part of developers community. I blog so that people who are smarter then me can be criticize me and correct my understanding. I also think that maybe after 10-20 years I can retire with my blog and become a professional blogger. http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment3http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment3Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:12:46 GMTRicardo, windows live writer, mostly http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment2http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment2Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:00:28 GMTI was asking myself the same thing! Some of your posts seem to me to take a lot longer than 10 minutes, and all of them make us think, which is definitely a good thing, even if we sometimes disagree on some points. BTW, what tools do you use for helping you write posts, may I ask? http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment1http://ayende.com/4154/how-do-you-manage-to-blog-so-much#comment1Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:36:38 GMT
