I recently saw an essay by SamRose, linked to from : Why you never see people complaining about “knowledge overload”…
- “Your ability to track, read, digest and understand blog posts cannot match the exponential volume of blogs emerging on the internet every day (even just in the subject areas that you are interested in).”
- “[I]f your intent is to be a source of re-usable knowledge, then focusing on frequency of posting, and statistics of people looking at your web or blogsite could become difficult to sustain.”
- “A more sustainable approach for digesting, understanding, and sharing for the 80% of people who will not be one of the widely-followed blogs, is to do it in a form that others can digest, understand, and share.”
It makes me want return to writing wiki pages on this site instead of blog pages (like this one). Start with a copy of a good blog page on a topic, copy it to a page without date prefix, and integrate other good pages instead of just appending to them (like the tag or category pages will).
On the topic of my RPG-related blogging, I have a few things that I keep returning to:
- My current set of house-rules, somewhat collected on House Rules
- The underpinnings of my play style, somewhat collected on How I Roll
- There’s also a much longer German page describing what I like as a player, 2010-03-01 Spielervorlieben
- The underpinnings of my referee style, somewhat collected on Know Your DM
- A wide variety of pages on the abstract idea of writing short texts, currently collected on Keep It Short
