Keeping ChiefDelphi.com Interesting...

[Joe Johnson]

Hi folks,

I just found this link (http://www.senserely.com/kdahl-building_habits_for_effective_writing.php) from reddit.com (one of my new favorite places on the web* - worth checking out).

The paper is titled: Building Habits for Effective Writing (http://www.senserely.com/kdahl-building_habits_for_effective_writing.php) and it is really should be titled How to Keep Your Blog Interesting, but, that said, the author makes a lot of good points that people who post on ChiefDelphi.com can benefit from (myself included). I am particularly fond of item #4 "Be original/creative, add value "

It is worth the few minutes it will take to read.

*reddit.com is quickly climbing up there with slashdot.org, digg.com, www.makezine.com/blog/ and www.robots-dreams.com

I think every one of those points applies very well to Delphi. Everyone on here does a great job of introducing new and interesting information, questions, and topics, and they are certainly nothing short of numbers 1 ("Post often/regular schedule") and 9 ("Persistence/longevity/patience"). I think the members of Delphi do a good job of keeping things creative and original, though many people seem to have taken to photoshopping Cody C recently. :rolleyes:

Nice post Joe,
That article is a must read for team webmasters. If you want your team website to be effective and popular, apply the tips in the article. A great website is about content. If you want to bring visitors coming back to your your content needs to be interesting , on point, frequent and easy to read. Stale, boring content will be stale and boring.
