Michael Wade, of Execupundit, is my blogging mentor. 

CO was designed around his approach.  I freely admit it.  But Execupundit remains the benchmark in my mind - tidbits of highly valuable information and links.  Not too crunchy; not too sweet. 

Wade has previously offered blogging tips and guidelines and I confess that I have violated some of them.  But they are great tips still.  What you get from CO is stream of consciousness.  I violate guideline number 1, for instance.  I have regretted violating it.  Fortunately, Tim usually edits it for me quickly.

Read his latest tips and learn. 

But if you are thinking of starting a blog, please do.  And let me know.
