One of my readers expressed some frustration to me about posts linking out The Second Road. I was afraid that might happen, since frankly, I get frustrated myself with similar situations and tend not to read bloggers who publish partial feeds or who link out work on other sites. (If you publish partial feeds and I'm still reading you, I really love you.)So, here's the deal. I have a commitment to the Second Road to write three posts a week. I have a commitment to myself to write five to six posts a week total. If three of those are at the Second Road, that means I only have time for two to three a week here. I try not to make the Second Road posts anything critical to my train of thought on a subject or a series here. I have been linking to the Second Road posts primarily because I really like having a record of my work for myself all in one place.
The question I have for you all is: would you prefer to keep seeing links to three pieces a week at the Second Road mixed in with the work I'm doing here or would you just like me to go to posting two or three times a week here with no links? I've put a poll up on the right sidebar.
