I chuckled pretty audibly at the heading for #2. Genius.

My recent post Thank God If You Make It, Thank God If You Don't

I am so happy you got a comment plugin. The design does look good, but the functionality of Intense Debate (or Disqus for that matter) is so drastically better than what comes with Typepad that I can't focus on another aspect.

Great move. :D

Handled masterfully.

I am so happy about this post. Our church is starting a single's ministry...and their first event is this Saturday, the day before Valentine's day.

I have been pushing them to just make it speed dating, but my helpful tips are consistently shot down.

You're well aware that women are redeemed through childbirth. And if you have kids without being married, you're a sinner.

Stop trying to send women to hell, Nick!

(and don't you dare take this seriously)

I like that system. I'd like to try to use it, but I doubt I will.

I'll probably just keep on keeping on with my current system, writing a blog post from the office after catching up on greader/email/fb/twitter for 60-90 minutes or so.

My entire process looks a lot like your sprint draft phase.

I'm a lazy blog writer.

Exactly Ray. Hard to remember though.

You can still write a better one :)

But...but...

awe :(

"Gotta blog today… gotta blog today… I’ve got nothing to say but I’ve gotta blog today. … God, I hate blogging…"

No, you really don't.

'Responsibility to your readers' is little more than blogger speak for a messiah complex.

Don't blog when you don't want to blog. Sure you may not be as "successful" of a blogger, but you'll probably be a much happier one. Unless the blog police confiscate your happiness as well.

But hey, what do I know? You're the pro here ;)
