Blogging on Found In Time

2010-10-10 10:58:31

Since most of the work I'm doing these days has to do with Found In Time, I've decided to focus my blogging efforts on that site instead of trying to maintain two blogs.

This is w-a-a-a-y too big an area to cover completely in one blog entry. But here are some thoughtful tips on how to plan for sound post.
