When I started BetterDocuments.com over 5 years ago, my plan was to provide good content on creating documents, in addition to offering my services. The reason is because I feel that this knowledge is greatly lacking. There are so many people that use word processing programs (like Microsoft Word or Wordperfect) just to get documents over with, but have no idea how to take advantage of these programs to make their business, personal life, or whatever they're doing better.
However, I've done a horrible job of providing that content. In the existence of the website, I've managed to produce only 7 articles. Though I feel that they're great articles that have stood the test of time and can be found on hundreds of other websites - nevertheless, it's time for me to step it up.
Therefore, I've made the decision to starting blogging. My hope is that blogging my many thoughts on creating documents will make for a better user experience for my visitors, help to springboard more articles, and to lead to even better service offerings in the future (like posting documents that could be useful to others.) At the very least, I believe it will help me to focus on providing better content.
I absolutely love the concept of blogging; I'm even trying to get my teenaged son to start one (who happens to be a faithful and creative journal writer). I think it's going be fun; but more importantly, I hope it's beneficial for those that visit the site. After all, I still have a passion for creating "better documents", and still believe that I can help others to do the same. Only time will tell how well I do this in sharing this go around.
Wish me luck!
