I just started reading a book on becoming a trust agent. See the link on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Trust-Agents-Influence-Improve-Reputation/dp/0470743085/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top This book has some interesting stories and information about the changes that become possible when you post items on a web site via a blog twitter or other form of social media.
The analogy of telling a joke is used to describe how you can connect with people who are not part of the original experience through the later review of your postings. I think that my person dilemma has been that I did not want to post any content that was not “good enough” for public consumption. This book will give me confidence that it is probably unrealistic to think that I will be a particularly good blogger at first. The paradox is that to become better, I have to just get started and improve with practice.
The tools that are available have also been improving while I was thinking about blogging and have become easier to use. This post is being written with Microsoft Live Writer for example, although the straight we editors that are available are also very usable. My only disappointment to date with this tool is that it does not seem to connect easily to Drupal
Since I have begun to experiment with some Drupal content creation on http://don.drupalgardens.com/blog# this would have been a handy feature. I did a quick search and saw that I was not the only one that had identified this short coming but I do not want to take the time to jump perform any complex configuration right now. Plenty of time to improve but as this book has encourage, It is time to get started
