Ben Werdmuller on what to write in a blog:
I once gave someone the advice to write something interesting to them on their blog every weekday for a month - and then to comment on someone else’s blog. Those comments are important: blogs are a community spread across thousands of sites, and it’s a good idea to join in and add value where you can. Don’t comment to self-promote; comment to share and uplift.
我从今年年初建立这个部落格，大部分的文章，都是引用加评述的形式。尤其是看完一些 long-form 的文章，或多或少都有些点想分享，我就会把这些点引用起来，有时就直接就成为一篇部落格，有时会加上一些自己想说的话。由此可见，我需要借助他人的文字来开启我自己的思考。前人对自己说的话谦称「抛砖引玉」，实乃确确实实有引她人思考的作用。
