Update: the latest

In text of email is good.

Working links are good.

All attachments suck.

I blog mostly off my phone now (yes, I type incredibly fast), and I just junk the attachments and the cryptic link-only emails.

I need a hint, or an excerpt, or the text. I need to be able to process the whole email in about 30 seconds.

Any longer is too long, given the several hundred substantive emails I get in a day.

A number of things about Tom's post yesterday, I wouldn't dream of giving up the blog, caught my eye (and not just the nice stuff about me either ;-).

One of them was this part about the best material we send him:

I just output as the spirit and material move me (with lotsa wonderful feeds from a core group of about 200 or so readers, the best of which (hint,hint) give me the URL, plus excerpts, plus their own analysis of why I'd be interested.

I'm like, 'Dang! I haven't even been doing that and I'm the webmaster!' ;-)

This obviously goes for email and comments. So I'm putting it up here as a reminder and will be linking it from the contact page, the comment policy, and the comments box.

And don't forget:

No work assignments until they read both books and come back with specific questions.

Got it? Now, go forth and multiply ;-)
