    “Writing is about story. Everything else is a footnote.”

    These two podcasts are worth listening to for that quote alone, but there is so much practical information about the details of blogging that the rest is also worth hearing.

    I listened to it 3 times and got many useful tips I plan to use on my 9-year old blog, especially about linking similar posts to each other and using keywords more.

    Good work, Tom. I don’t know where you find the time, but keep at it.

      Bruce,

      I’m glad you enjoyed the podcast. I’m also glad that you pulled out my quote about the importance of story. At one point, I was considering putting it somewhere on my site as a self-reminder when I write new posts.

      If you’re at the STC Summit, let me know and I’ll introduce myself.
