How to Blog

43 Folders is a suprisingly popular and very “sticky” site about personal creativity written by Merlin Mann.  Here’s Merlin speaking about “How to Blog.”  The video wouldn’t play all the way through on my Mac, but I like his slides (really just one slide) a lot.  The “obsession” part of it helped explain to myself why I haven’t been consistent in my own blogging efforts.  I’ll be relaunching this site accordingly within a few days.
