Thanks for sharing your process – I really like the idea of writing my closing paragraph in the early stages of the process – I might try and incorporate that into my process because I find that I sometimes I start knowing exactly what I'm trying to say and then end up completely lost by the end.

Thanks so much for sharing, was great insight for me – very useful.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I wonder if ever blogger starts with a tittle, seems to be a common trend among both Alex, yourself and I. Would be very interesting to hear from a few more people. (Might ask again once iThnk has more readers).

I should really take the time to stalk some photographers on Flickr – sounds like a great way to support some up and coming photographers and use some unique images at the same time.

Once again thanks for commenting.

Then I point form the body in between the two. Review each point and flesh them out into paragraphs (complete with headings when appropriate). Then I proofread and fine tune everything.

I love using vivid and highly illustrative images to help make my posts come alive. I'm addicted to images and have to be careful not to go overboard!

As for your “sub par writing” – Ha. I have seen blogs that have sub par authors that can't hold a candle to you. You are too hard on yourself!

So far this has worked ok, though I am looking to improve it. I do pictures last, and that tends to happen by just looking @ my favorite photographers on flickr for a bit until I find one that 'feels' right.

One thing we seem to have in common is the use of short paragraphs. I think that it is easier to read on a screen.

Very much appreciated Sam – apparently I need to try Evernote now.

Have a great day!

Firstly, it's not cocky. You do have a great writing style – in fact a lot if the personal flavour of the remodeled iThnk has been inspired by what I saw on your site – while I'm on that – love the tag line for your site – hence the use of the word “scribblings”.

Headers are interesting things – while I would say that my two heading process works for me most of the time – I've also noticed that the times when I start with the perfect headings and don't have to tweak or change them are the times that I end up getting the most engagement – I have a theory on this…

The times where I start and finish with a great heading tend to be the times where my content flows the best – because I'm using the same heading to remind myself what I'm supposed to be writing about as I am to grab attention with my audience it all just gels – have you experienced this also?

Btw – I like the idea of writing one heading for Google & disqus will be gone shortly.
