There are lots and lots of thoughts and opinions out there about when and where to publish and share things online. Over the last few years though I think that I’ve settled on something nearing or adjacent to POSSE. POSSE stands for Publish On your own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. You’ve probably noticed that actually as I’ve taken to publishing something here on the blog every day. I usually publish here, very late at night, and then share the links elsewhere. I’m sharing this philosophy because while it isn’t new, I think more people could benefit from this type of sharing. Yes, there might be some things that aren’t tailor-made for the blog, but all-in all I think it’s helpful and important to have control over your thoughts and ideas. Social media is great, but we don’t own what we put there, so it’s good to make sure you can access that content somewhere else.

I’m toying with how to employ this method or philosophy even more, so you’ll likely notice some positive changes to the blog.

Here’s a great explanation of POSSE.

What are your thoughts on things like this? I’m curious!

Until tomorrow!
