(This goes for other professions as well I’m sure). As designers I think it is important we regularly publish online. Blogs, articles, editorials, whatever. The web is developing faster than anyone can grasp, and the only way to make the most of it is to share, share, share. I’ve been actively “blogging” since May 2011 about what I know and discover, and have actually managed to keep it up. The reason is because this isn’t a website dedicated to shouting at the world and hoping people are reading about what I had for dinner or why I think blue is better than red. In fact, one of the main reasons I started this site was to have a repository of everything I learn so I can reference it myself! I often forget what I’ve done in the past, and this helps tremendously when that happens.

So, start writing. Don’t just write, write well. Don’t just share, share useful info. And hopefully you’ve found some of this useful over the past year.
