A recent post by Jeremy Pepper addresses some of the issues I am debating about the blogging path I should take. These decisions also coincide with a re-design I am currently undertaking. Should I blog what I want or what my readers want? In a perfect world those two items would match perfectly, but that is not always the case.

One of the issues I face is that my readership is mixed with respect to their level of blog-awareness. Some readers are rather savvy, while others who might have started reading my blog after hearing me speak are just new to the medium. I have thought about starting another blog for beginners, sort of a Blog 101. But the idea of managing two blogs is something I don't want to deal with.

I try to avoid the meta-blogging trap, but sometimes there are things that I feel would be interesting to my readers. What to do, what to do :-) One part of the blog design update will be a meta-blog sidebar. Similar to what Jeremy Harrington has done with his 'Recent Finds' sidebar; just a link with a sentence.

I plan to launch the revamp sometime in August. For now if you have any comments or suggestions let me know.
