How Much Can You Really Share on a Blog?

For over two years I have been trying to add posts to this blog on a consistent schedule. My goal is to upload posts three times a week. It’s a personal goal, one that challenges me and one which I often fail.

Sometimes I view this blog as a journal of my thoughts. Recently I have learned that some things are left unsaid, not because they are wrong or rude or insulting, but because they might be misinterpreted.

How open should or can you be on a blog?

A New Look for Michael’s Notes


Michael’s Notes has a new look thanks to @richardfoshee.

It also has a new blog address www.michaelhsmith.com. If you found the new page by using www.michaelsnotes.com know this address will still work; however I would appreciate it if you would change your entrance to the site to www.michaelhsmith.com.

The old blog was hosted by typepad.com at this address www.michaelhsmith.typepad.com. In the next few days this former address will be closed.

I often get asked why do I blog, here are some of my reasons:

  • It is a creative outlet.
  • It challenges me to look for topics to write about.
  • It encourages me to read on a variety of topics.
  • It helps me organize my thoughts.
  • It hopefully helps the people I lead know me better.
  • I am enjoying the challenge.

Do you write a blog?
