Blogging is a worthy discipline and much more brilliant when two things happen: 1) you love doing it and 2) many people read it. So I think your comment about Seth Godin may a little off — he's worked hard to build this blog platform to share his ideas daily with people who appreciate them. Rather than #bloggingtoohard, I'd say he's mastered the discipline.

Nevertheless, Guy, I must say I very much appreciate your pioneering work with DBW — I'm proud to be a paying member and looking forward to engaging more with that community.

But I know what you mean about neglection. I get my fill of publishing news and the last thing I want to do is stay up late at night writing about books for my own blog. Which is why I kind of transitioned in my own writing. Doing both DBW and marianlibrarian has set up a nice little balance :) Always nice to read your posts, Guy!
