I'd like to add a tip of my own that will hopefully benefit your readers.<br /><br />When I started my "<a href="http://mosherubin.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Jerusalem Mosaics</a>" blog (dedicated mainly to cryptanalysis of classical cryptographic systems) a few months ago, ideas for blog postings came rushing in fast and furious. The ideas came both when I was sitting at my home computer and away from home. To be honest, I was worried about forgetting and losing ideas.<br /><br />I still get ideas frequently both at home and on the road. The problem remains: how do I avoid forgetting these ideas?<br /><br />My tip? When an idea occurs to you, wherever you are, e-mail yourself with a conspicuous subject (e.g. "Blog: Excellent exposition of Hidden Markov Models").<br /><br />Back at your home computer, just move the e-mail to a dedicated blogging folder and your idea is safe. Review the folder whenever you're looking for a blogging topic.<br /><br />I've built up a reservoir of ideas to last me through the upcoming months, and am overjoyed when I see a long-forgotten idea sitting patiently in the folder, waiting to be published.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-23976383675836978072009-06-25T12:48:41.752-05:002009-06-25T12:48:41.752-05:00Great comments--I wish I had seen them before I st...Great comments--I wish I had seen them before I started.<br /><br />Also would suggest whatever you do, stay away from Lance/Bill mode, since they are the best at what they do.rjliptonhttp://rjlipton.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-19067067219776554452009-06-24T11:08:52.888-05:002009-06-24T11:08:52.888-05:00What's the point of using an unattractive acro...What's the point of using an unattractive acronym (YATB) with no purpose?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-57989895837819690742009-06-23T14:53:26.456-05:002009-06-23T14:53:26.456-05:00harder to write then --> harder to write thanharder to write then --> harder to write thanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1228601838939305092009-06-23T14:05:44.538-05:002009-06-23T14:05:44.538-05:00No, he spelled it correctly.
