I think my only wish would to be to interact with you more, hence the comments. I had all comments closed on my blog after reading Steve Pavlina's great post on blogging but then really wanted to hear what my readers were thinking and I do realize the hundred other media channels to communicate and share and spread the word and of course the fact that it's personal choice for bloggers but you did ask :) I'd love to be able to comment on your great posts.....! That's all.

They are excellent - I especially love the idea of a concept map and I'm sure this will be extremely handy for readers. I've new readers ask me before on what they should start reading on the blog, and it makes me realize that there isn't a clear structure on how to start off. On your recommendation of updating past articles, I'm starting to do that actually. The previous article on discovering purpose was actually an updated article from an article I wrote in 2008. It's definitely much better to update older articles, which maintains the timeless quality of the articles on this blog. I'll start integrating these changes soon. Thanks again ægil! Feel free to share your inputs on an ongoing basis too, whether it's on improving the site or articles :)

(this thing requires advanced web coding which I do not know). Explaining this requires a whole blog post! It has its limits too because it is supposed to be summary. • Recycling articles instead of always writing new ones (improving them), so an article version history should exist, like in Wikipedia. If articles look too much already, combine the most related ones or have the same bit of information. Calling articles as posts is an understatement, because your posts are very likely to contain wonderful information. The less articles the better your blog will be navigated. Concept maps make site navigation easy. It can be combined with categories (or big tags) or tags too. In other words what is the basic foundation of all your information, and how all articles relate to it? • Highlighting important points in the text. If I had not read your clear-cut site (which I have read since June 2009) this comment won't come because of neurotic perfectionism and procrastination resulting from that. Since then I felt more powerful and aware of what is truly happening in the world. Your articles resonate with me so much that I secon Lydia's feeling of positive energy! my consciouness has taken 1000 steps further! As time goes by I’ll give you my ideas. Give us your ideas too!

I have several ideas how blogs like yours can improve.

• Like calling past articles as archives is an understatement, because some articles are true classics.

• Concept maps highlighting the sole purpose of the information blog, how articles or categories flow from the purpose and how articles relate to another. (this thing requires advanced web coding which I do not know). Explaining this requires a whole blog post!

I've duly taken note of your feedback and will factor them in accordingly in my future blog posts. Stephen, my upcoming book on Passion & Money is covering all of that and more actually! I'm in the middle of writing it and it wouldn't be out till the latter half of the year. I'll keep everyone posted via the blog/twitter! :) Lydia, thanks so much for your gracious comments. It's really great to know that you feel such positive energy after reading my blog! I do my best in my writings to connect and reach out to you. Monika, I love your idea on a resource collage, so I'll put that on my to-write list. To be honest, I hardly ever read books or external materials (even other websites), so let me think over how to work this idea out. The latest thing coming up will be videos! I mentioned last year that I want to start up a talkshow and I decided to kickoff the talkshow in the form of a blogTV first. It's coming sooner than later, in fact - I'll be recording the prelude intro in a few days and the video should be ready by the end of the week. I'm really excited about this and I hope you guys are, too! :)

I'd love to see some more links to resources or maybe even your reviews of those resources - what books have you read that you found really inspiring, and why? I'm seeing lots more videos being uploaded to blogs at the moment, and actually it doesn't appeal - I just delete them. I'd much prefer to read info at my leisure. Some thoughts :) Monika
