I started this blog for a couple of reasons. The one of most importance to anyone reading it is that I will use this to publish articles of interest to the broader information management community and make them available for syndication. What that means is that anything I publish here can be re-used for chapter newsletters, websites, blogs, etc. subject to a couple of minor caveats:
- If you use it, you attribute it back to me. You don’t have to link back to this blog, though that’d be nice, but I don’t like people stealing. If I find my articles on another blog without attribution, I will ask nicely that you attribute it, then I will ask nicely that you delete it, then I will open up.
- Sometimes things on here are reworkings of things I have published elsewhere – and vice versa. So I may publish something for, say, Infonomics or Information Management that is very similar to something here. I will generally note that in the post someplace.
Couple of other reasons I started this. First, lots of folks start blogs on Blogger and then move to WP because of its flexibility. I, too, want more flexibility than I think Blogger currently provides, and this is my sandbox to see if I might also want to move Informata here. In addition, I sometimes help others with setting up blogs and so I need to get more familiar with WP.
Anyway, that’s the idea. Questions? Comments? Email me.
