Unasked Questions

1) Why do you have an unasked questions page instead of a frequently asked questions document?

I have not received any questions, so I decided to make up a list of ones I have been expecting and asked myself before I started the blog.

2) Why do you have a blog?

I wanted a creative outlet and a way to share ideas. I enjoy writing and it is something I can do while traveling for work.

3) How often will you update it?

I do not know. I got rid of the schedule I had as I am more concerned about content and quality than about simply fulfilling a self-imposed schedule.

4) Why don’t you mention who your employer is?

I do not want to be defined by who I work for. I will admit that I often do talk about work related topics as I am lucky in that I work in the field I am interested in.

5) Why do you self host your blog?

My content, my rules, my ownership. I believe that one of the few things that we can have control over is our ideas. I want to have control over the content I share.

6) Is content ownership the reason you use Smugmug as your photo host?

Yes, same idea. A more in-depth explanation can be found at http://www.bradfordbenn.com/2010/03/why_smugmug/

7) Why are you so concerned about making your website work on as many platforms as possible?

I find it interesting and stimulating to make the site work on as many platforms as possible. I also think that the idea of writing for one browser is short sighted and ultimately results in poor upgrade paths.
