Focusing CMM blog to reflect content of book

Face it, this blog started out with a clearly defined purpose, but has morphed into more of a "whatever strikes my fancy at the moment," and that's no way to run a blog, not for the long-term at least.

That's why it dawned on me to use the blog as fodder for the new book I'm writing...not exclusively, but largely. Taking that tack brings with it a couple of benefits at least.

  1. You get to see the core of the book develop right before your eyes.
  2. You get something other than screeds and rants. The blog becomes what I've always wanted it to be, an informative, helpful piece of online real estate. That's not to say you won't still get the occasional rant or knee-jerk reaction to some news breaking in the blogosphere, but I hope that becomes less frequent.

So, when does this start? As soon as I can get to it, but within the next week or two at the most. Stay tuned!
