Lynn, this is fun, threads like this are like playing jazz with computer keyboards. First you solo over a chorus, then me, then back to you, each of us pushing the other to further develop the melody, late in to the night in some smoky little club.
I hope we're swinging! If not, I hope the audience is too drunk to notice.
Ok, this is the right mindset, agreed.
Now let's apply it to ourselves. If we really want folks to succeed at this, if we really want to do our job, we'll keep working, searching for ways to make it easier for them.
Imho, we're on the same page, each in our own way.
I want to make it easy in part so that all the delays and excuses are taken away, and there's nothing left but getting right down to work, or quickly coming face to face with the fact that we don't really want to work.
Ok, let's agree on this too, each in our own way.
Imho, the business internet publishers are in is serving readers, usually with text content. And yes, understanding readers, and delivering them an endless flow of excellent content is indeed a challenge.
It's enough of a challenge, that the serious publisher, whether new or veteran, may choose to focus on it with determination. A serious publisher may elect to set aside distractions, like the fancy web technology and business plans that the webmaster community is so fascinated with.
Yes, a big difference between a serious content creator, and those who endlessly fiddle around with net technology, pretending they are nerds.
Thanks for letting me play in your band. I'm having a great time, but perhaps have taken a few too many solos. Hoping members of the audience, if there are any, might jump up on stage, and take a turn at the word piano.
