Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to complete my 2019 reader survey.
Your feedback is immensely valuable. I’ll definitely be revisiting it as I continue planning content for 2020.
Daily Gleanings
For the moment, I especially wanted to update you on the Daily Gleanings series.
Several of you both in the survey and outside it mentioned the value you’ve been getting from this series. I’m very grateful you’ve found it so helpful, and I appreciate your encouragement about it.
I’ve been finding the content in that series very helpful myself too. So I do want to continue covering this content, but I am going to experiment some more with its format this month (and perhaps beyond).
Upcoming Experiments
You’ll still get the larger blog article first thing every Monday. But in this experiment, I won’t publish the additional five posts each week that have been specifically titled “Daily Gleanings.”
Instead, I’ll try treating the content this series has covered in other ways.
For instance, some of the content in the Daily Gleanings series, I’d like to treat more fully and helpfully. So this will get “promoted” into larger article-type posts.
Other Daily Gleanings-type content will likely be more helpful if its organized more closely than a series of short blog posts will allow.
For example, rather than separate posts on related open access resources spread out over a number of weeks, I might batch those related resources and comments on them together in a downloadable PDF.
Conclusion
I’m grateful that the content in the Daily Gleanings series has been so helpful. It’s been very useful to me too both in the writing of it and in having this content available for later.
I’m looking forward to experimenting with new ways of formatting this content. And of course, I welcome your comments and input as this experiment develops.
Besides in other posts or downloadable PDFs, what other formats might you find helpful for receiving Daily Gleanings-type content in the future?
