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!…

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!…
