Tim Bray and Marc Canter on Posting Style

Tim Bray at Northern Voice

One of the fathers of XML (who now works at Sun) is on stage here in Vancouver at Northern Voice.

He's talking about blogging - and going over the basics. One thing he said which is right on - is that you should start a post off with something specific and migrate it to something general.

I like that principle and I use it often. You start off a post with a stream motivated by some announcement, product feature, new standard or totally ludicrous idea. From there you migrate the post to one (or more than one) of your underlying principles - which is what you REALLY wanna communicate.

This idea of generalization is a nice strategy - which can be mapped to almost any idea or set of principles.
