But you have been a great example to me. Gary, That's why I have always been drawn to bloggers like John Dyer and Tony Steward who post infrequently. I tend to stay away from blogs that post incessantly. Personally, I just can't keep up with it myself. And I feel like when guys like John post, it must be really good, because they don't speak often. It's like being in that meeting with people, and it's the one person, who rarely talks, that everyone is hanging on their words. They are the voice of wisdom. I'm afraid if I talk too much, my words will eventually lose meaning. Jay, Haaaaa...nice metaphor. Rhett Jim,

I agree with you :-)

John,

I will let you know how this works out for me. But you have been a great example to me.

Gary,

That’s why I have always been drawn to bloggers like John Dyer and Tony Steward who post infrequently. I tend to stay away from blogs that post incessantly. Personally, I just can’t keep up with it myself. And I feel like when guys like John post, it must be really good, because they don’t speak often. It’s like being in that meeting with people, and it’s the one person, who rarely talks, that everyone is hanging on their words. They are the voice of wisdom. I’m afraid if I talk too much, my words will eventually lose meaning.

Jay,

Haaaaa…nice metaphor.

Rhett

It's interesting, but the blogging "experts" say to blog shorter, cursory stuff, more often. That method, they say, will cause more readers to come to your blog. I've always been attracted to deeper, sometimes-longer posts... the kinds of posts you're talking about. That's also what I'm drawn to write myself. I'm very encouraged that you're trying to make blogging (including Twitter and FB) a gift to the reader, not a self-serving means of perpetual Narcissism (using that term non-clinically - you know what I mean). Your stance goes in the opposite direction of conventional wisdom, and I think that's a really good thing. Thanks so much for the encouraging words, and the authenticity. Great stuff, Rhett.
