Hello, my loyal readers. You might be surprised to find a real post in the middle of my declared posting holiday; but there are some things in life that just can’t wait.
An apology to those that deserve it is such an occasion.
In the last week, it became evident that I made a mistake. By trying to keep my ‘holiday article’ in one piece, at the front-page of my web site, I forgot the most important thing in this blog: The reader’s experience.
Yes; I got a couple of complaints, and I reflected on them. The first one was subtle — a lonely unsubscribe. The following two I sought after: I asked some personal and close family & friend members who read my articles regularly what they thought of my holiday.
What they told surprised me at first, and then not. They said that by simply ‘adding’ the new entry of my favourite Internet authors to the list at the end of the article, I was confusing my readership. And they are absolutely right! I don’t want to send the same old content over and over, just because there is one new paragraph at the end of the article.
A great teacher once told me Love is actions, not words, so my apology will be backed with a new way of continuing my holiday.
Starting today, I will publish a short article every week with the new entry to my list of favourite authors. Starting today too, I am creating a Hall of Fame where I will keep the history of these, so that if you joined us just this week, you can easily find the other authors that have captured our minds & hearts.
We’d like to ask that you accept this apology, and continue visiting our blog in the future. Your support and continued patronage means a lot to us.
