  • New Site Policy About How I Respond to Questions

    July 27th, 2008 | Posted in Blogging 8 Comments »

    I get a lot of questions from readers who stumble upon my blog while searching for answers to various things. I don’t mind getting questions, but a lot of times I don’t have good answers. I’ve decided to add a new question policy to my Contact page. The policy is as follows:

    Note: If you ask me a question, I may choose to excerpt your question and post the response on my blog. When I do this, I’ll always protect your identity with a fictional name. If you don’t want me to respond to your question in a blog post, let me know. Posting responses via blog posts gives you a much larger audience to potentially respond to your question.

    Most people are agreeable to this anyway, as long as I hide their identity. By posting the policy note before people submit questions, I can decrease the turnaround time, because I won’t have to first reply with a request to post the response in a blog post.

      I think that makes perfect sense! Time and again, I’ve been stuck with a question and thought: “I can’t believe I’m the only one with this problem…”

      So I think it’s a good idea to go ahead and publish the Q and the A and to preserve it for posterity.

      Thanks Kai. I appreciate your agreement on the common sense of this new approach. By the way, when you leave a comment, uncheck the Enable Commentluv check box. For some reason, it reads Ning wrong and puts Mike’s page in there. Sorry about that.

    3. I love it great info……… :)

    4. Hey, nice navigation. Did you code this theme?

        I added the navigation bar to the existing theme. If you want the theme, search for it on my site, as I released it a while ago.
