This is actually by third WordPress blog. One is in philosophy (starting somewhere around 13 years old, I read a lot in two areas–electronics and philosophy) and one is a blog teaching ministry of my church. I’ve been trying to get the church to adopt things such as blogging, podcasting, online video and the like. We’re doing a lot of that. I don’t have lots of time, so I don’t really devote the design time that I should to all these. This blog will be moving to automationworld.com when we unveil an updated site shortly. I just got impatient waiting.
I’ve been an editor for just over 10 years and can still remember what my needs were during my “working” lfe. My introduction to producs coverage as an editor was that pretty much they take a junior editor or writer and have them rewrite a product press release into AP style removing unsubstantiated superlatives and that was it. No context. No mention of significance. But in the end, users are really interested in products because that’s what you wind up buying to actually do something. Therefore I borrowed ideas from following the technology space and started this. Over time you’ll see contributions by many other AW editors. To get started, it’ll be just another Gary blog
Keep the thoughts coming. Check out Tony’s addition to open source projects, by the way. I appreciate the input. If you have ideas for improvement, please send. Or things you’d like to see covered.
