Even the guest posts :)! @ Niki - I think it's the informal tone of your writing that I respond to as well. @ Mike - I'm glad that you do what you do, my friend. @ Graham - Thanks for the comments. Glad that we could inspire! I agree with you that most people seem to be turned off by the wordy posts. They seem to prefer the graphics. Though I'm loving your webcasts, I do value your in depth and whimsical posts. Like you said it is time consuming, that's why we are lucky that we both contribute to make it a little easier. I can't wait to read what you come up with!! @ Jacob — No problem, the content in the copy of your site is always par for the course! Even the guest posts :)!

Actually, given me an idea for my own post. Now see, this is what a great post or article should be able to do. As well as draw in comments, if it can spark further conversation then that the greatest compliment... :) And no, im not trying to 'snuggle' up to you guys. Just saying it how it is. :) <abbr><em>Graham Smiths last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/imjustcreative/~3/475397190/imjustcreative" rel="nofollow">Links for 2008-12-04 [del.icio.us]</a></abbr></em> lol.

Ghost writing. Wondered what peoples thoughts are on this? Think I may do a poll or something on this, curious to know how people think about it. <abbr><em>Graham Smiths last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/imjustcreative/~3/475397190/imjustcreative" rel="nofollow">Links for 2008-12-04 [del.icio.us]</a></abbr></em> Oh, and the other point, which kind of carries on from previous.

It's too general, as it obviously applies to both Images and text. A well written, interesting blog post will always draw me in more than repetitive link collections if I am to remain a loyal reader. It's finding the balance which for sure, you guys have. Freebies, collections, awesome written posts... that's the ultimate goal. But Im sure you will both agree, hideously time intensive as well. :) Also, I hear alot about content is king, But I think one needs to clarify that this statement isn’t actually very helpful.

Can never underestimate how good it feels when someone picks out something you have done to demonstrate a point. I'll be honest and that I do struggle with doing posts that re best off's, or collections of various things. I much prefer writing about things, but I often wonder if that is what people actually want nowadays. Always seems to be the graphically intense posts that attract the most attention. Is it because people are too hurried to read a 1000 word blog post instead of seeing lots of cool links? repeat what the others said, really appreciate being included.
