First Thoughts about Blogging as a course of study

Seth Godin writes five blog posts and posts one. Daily.
The secret to success lies in your daily habits.

Non-text blogging. Photo blogging and video blogging, and platforms similar to blogging which are not blogging.
Advantages and disadvantages of different forms of mass communication media platforms in terms of happiness, vitality and health.

The difference between pleasure and satisfaction

You are a brand. What does that mean?
Blogs are platforms where there is no implicit trust so it must be earned over time. How long it takes depends on good luck, extent of planning, consistent execution and unknown unknowns.
Good luck includes timeliness.
Extent of planning includes research and meticulous attention to detail.
Consistent execution includes degree of effort; how much of that effort comes from willpower (exhaustible) and how much comes from well developed habits (easy to create, hard to create deliberately) will determine the probability of successful execution.
Unknown unknowns are all those factors which must exist but have not yet been considered.
