thanks for the comment.

The post title tip is a great one. It also works the other way around: I often get frustrated clicking on something that then does not deliver what the title promises.

We too have a wiki to document short training sessions we hold every Friday morning (http://tgiftutorials.pbwiki.com/). Will add your points there.

An excellent start! I find that visiting other blogs in the development area is a great way to see the different ways people are using them. A constantly amazing variety and full of ideas to borrow. I really appreciate the continuing openness of the tools.

I’m also aware that individual blog posts pop up in unexpected places and services – on the iaald blog the older ones especially still get regular traffic. So I’m also looking for short titles that somehow give meaning. Often difficult to achieve.

For some euforic projects, we have a wiki introducing the web2 tools we use in our development settings. See http://web2share.pbwiki.com/blogging for example.

We also collaboratively tag, in del.icio.us, blogs and resources on blogging in the non-profit development arena. Using the tags ‘npk4dev’ and ‘blogging’ – see http://feeds.feedburner.com/npk4devblog
