I'll keep this short.
I've been thinking about jazz music a lot for the last few months, and finally the article crystalized in my mind. It took me about 3 hours but I got it written down . . .

Today, after keeping an ongoing spreadsheet of who commented on which of my articles, I'm going to stop. I'm choosing to view it as a useful exercise, but I think I have enough information. . . .

You know you're a Gatherholic when.
1) The phrase, "You've caught us. We're in the process of updating our site" gives you the same pit-of-the-stomach sensation as being locked out . . .

I created what I'll call a "map" to my Gather articles (aka: "posts"). At first I wanted to help readers find my earlier writings, but it became clear before long that even I had . . .
