Comments on: Where Do You Find Good Content? http://www.contentious.com/2005/04/13/where-do-you-find-good-content/ Amy Gahran's news and musings on how we communicate in the online age. Sat, 24 Jul 2010 22:39:23 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Kate Sands http://www.contentious.com/2005/04/13/where-do-you-find-good-content/comment-page-1/#comment-17173 Kate Sands Thu, 14 Apr 2005 20:33:53 +0000 #comment-17173 Amy, thanks for highlighting this--I managed to miss it before and it's certainly timely now. The humanitarian aid agency I work for recently launched a blog and so far we've recruited a few enthusiastic bloggers. Ideally, though, we'd like to see a steady stream of contributions from staff in all the countries where we work. As you point out in your post, often people within an organization are too close to their own information. Some good tips to act on to "draw co-workers out of their shells" and help build up a blogger corps. Amy, thanks for highlighting this–I managed to miss it before and it’s certainly timely now.

Obviously, if that's all you did (like that would ever happen!) that might be a minor problem. But I think most people who are getting the blog feed don't even know about the archives. Also, there are things you have written about in older archived articles that are timeless or have sudden relevance to things going on currently. I think pulling from that resource at those times is a good idea. I think the reruns are a good idea, too.

You might also look for old posts on related themes and link them altogether in one new post. I have linked to your original article from http://www.cuttings.me.uk/AW/traffic/blogging/blog-content.html where I am building an article full of blog ideas for artists and craftspeople.

So, f to me the "reruns" are very helpful. I would have just missed this (really valuable) piece if you hadn'tposted a link to it here. Anastasia Dear Amy,

I started reading your articles just a couple weeks ago (vive le RSS!), and I haven’t browsed the archives as of yet. So, f to me the “reruns” are very helpful. I would have just missed this (really valuable) piece if you hadn’tposted a link to it here.
