Something I am finding interesting is what it thinks is similar. Since it is analyzing the words in the posts, it shows me linkages I don't think of. And how I use my own version of a controlled vocabulary, which is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps I should have paid more attention to those people in my life that enjoyed reading dictionaries and expanding vocabulary words! Sue, I wonder if experience is a factor. I want to do some more testing, since it was so helpful. The related posts were particularly important to him on the ASTD blog where the content topics are so dramatically different. For example, he would read a post on cultural competency, and if the next chronological post was about Web 2.0, he found that too much of a leap. Here I thought the mixing was a good way to engage a variety of people..... guess this is why the testing is so important. This challenge certainly has surfaced many assumptions I have been making about what people want. Michele,

I wonder if there is a difference between what experienced and inexperienced blog readers like. I personally not into related posts - but then I also one of those people that do not like lots of linking on a wiki. Did not check out the comment tracking feature in Laura's blog so I will have to go back and check. Sue Hi Christine

I was really fascinated by what your husband liked in a blog. I wonder if there is a difference between what experienced and inexperienced blog readers like. I personally not into related posts – but then I also one of those people that do not like lots of linking on a wiki.

Did not check out the comment tracking feature in Laura’s blog so I will have to go back and check.

If you want to see a good About page, you might also try Tim Davies. He just joined the Challenge and has a re-do that I think is less wordy than mine. I told him I might be stealing from him. You can find it at: http://www.timdavies.org.uk/introduction-tims-blog Now I wish I had a "similar posts" plug-in for Typepad. . . Hi Christine–you’ve managed to get a lot done!
