Wow, after rereading my last post I realize how much I didn’t touch on with regards to tweaking your blog. I am going to keep moving forward and will touch on additional “tweaking” at a latter time as there really is a lot more that you can do - a lot.
However, this lack of “completeness” touches on one of my previous posts about organization and failing to plan. I have been going about my posts with my idea in mind and putting down a few thoughts on the notepad on my desktop, but really, this is not the best way to write - just off the top of your head so to speak.
I and you should take the time to write down the key points of what you are going to write, think it though in your mind, and then revisit the key points that you wrote down. Do you want to add anything? Do you want to change the order? Do you perhaps want to split it up into 2 or more posts?
I am implementing this simple method to make my life easier and to present a more professional post. Don’t get me wrong, I am not writing technically, but I really don’t want to pass along misinformation, or partial information.
If you are reading my post, you are looking at me with some authority. Make no mistake, this is exactly what people reading your posts will be thinking of you - don’t let them down!

Outlining is the key to getting a solid message out to your audience. There is a reason why our teachers pushed outlining before essay writing so heavily in school! Well done!
