Quick Note On The Digital Edge Survey…

Share

First I want to thank everyone who has responded so far…

Your participation in this survey is appreciated.

In looking at the initial responses, I’ve noticed that there are an exceptionally large number of ‘abandoned’ surveys – survey’s that were filled out but never submitted. Please be sure to click the “Finished? Submit your survey.” button at the bottom of the survey to be sure it is submitted.

If you think you may have missed this step, feel free to ‘vote again’ and let me know what you’d like to see. Your thoughts and suggestions are important to me!.

I want to be sure your voice is heard!…

Help Me Improve The Digital Edge!…

The start of the year is always a good time to make adjustments…

I haven’t made any significant changes to The Digital Edge in well over a year.

From a content perspective, my posts are mostly technical in nature, though I do cover a wide range of other topics as well. While I can tell from usage stats that some topics seem to be more popular than others, to this point I haven’t made a conscience effort to tailor what I post about based on that.

As a point of interest, here are some general trends I have found:

  • Posts on politics and Apple tend to get the most cross links
  • Deeper technical posts generate the most feedback (for some reason, usually via email).
  • My most popular posts – by a wide margin – are episodes of the video series I have produced.

On the layout front, I haven’t done much to change the overall layout or look of the site. I did launch a companion site for video programs (digitaledge.tv), but haven’t really developed that out or integrated it more closely with the main blog.

Essentially, development of the blog has been more opportunistically driven and less planned than I would like.

So it’s time to apply a little more discipline to the process…

With readership growing, I figured a good place to start is to ask everyone more directly what I could be doing to improve The Digital Edge, and make it a more useful and interesting resource.

To that end, I have put together a brief survey to gather your feedback and suggestions. (It appears right at the end of this post.) There are only 5 questions – all of which are optional. Any answers you provide would be valuable to me and greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help!…

NOTE: Please click on the “Finished? Submit your survey.” button at the bottom of the survey when you are done filling it out. There have been a large number of ‘abandoned’ surveys – survey’s that were filled in but never submitted. I want to be sure everyone’s voice is heard, so feel free to ‘vote again’ if you think this might have happened to you!

Happy 2009!…

Here we are at the start of another year…

2009

I want to thank everyone for their support in 2008! I truly appreciate the great feedback and engagement I’ve received here at The Digital Edge this past year.

It’s was a busy year on many fronts, and there were a few things I had hoped to develop for the site that are now sliding into the new year. I am looking forward to really getting the barely launched re:SEARCH series going, and even have plans for another new video series that might launch some time late in the second quarter. Who knows, I might even revisit the Practical RSS show for a few more episodes. I’m excited about the possibilities, and hope to share this new year with all of you.

I wish everyone the best in 2009.

Peace, Health, Prosperity – and some really cool new Tech…
