About brokenmold.net
A high-quality weblog — the kind you come across linked from a great article and instantly dump into your RSS reader, forevermore combined with the flow of your information firehose — will almost always have a few basic characteristics. Miss one, and you’re borderline; miss several, and you shouldn’t expect a second visit.
Here’s what’s important: unbroken language, clean design, a tight topical focus, consistently relevant content, and a semi-predictable posting schedule. For example, John Gruber’s daringfireball.net is nothing if not smooth on the eyes; Seth Godin’s Blog is a better-than-daily call to action, Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project is focused on all things happy, and all of them are well-written and post about daily. Most good blogs will also have an author willing to attach their full names to their work, though exceptions as notable as Rands in Repose (and, at one time, Fake Steve Jobs) exist.
By any of these standards, this is not a high-quality weblog. That’s okay, because it isn’t supposed to be. Everyone needs an outlet, and this is mine…and that’s it.
For all that, I still hope you enjoy your time here.
