Once upon a time, I was young and foolish. When I came upon a topic, and if I could not find an answer on the first page of Google, I just wrote it out. There we go, one blog post. Blogs were new, and my few friends would swarm in, email/forward, and tell the others on other forums. It would suddenly be popular, shared, commented on, and debated.
Someone would ask a question on a forum or a mailing list. I would then blog out that answer and keep sharing it repeatedly to the same questions asked over and over again. The blog post would then be linked and discussed by sites such as Adobe, etc. Bam, you feel like writing more.
Now, I have a query or a topic, and there are hundreds of answers that people have already written about. Or I will know that is stupid; I need more information and in-depth research -- then I would get lazy and focus elsewhere.
Finally, I'm beginning to get addicted to the quiet and loving the new intoxication of silence.
Offtopic: The website's design is brilliant. Is this a theme or custom-rolled? A quick source did not reveal much but I would really love to steal a design similar to this that I can adopt.
