I am working on content for internetSOS
now. My good friend Perry Gamsby was
meant to do a fair amount to the research and writing but through experience we
have determined that its better that I write the content and give it to him to
proof read and clean up. Much of the content requires a highly technical
understanding of the internet, computers and IT security which Perry currently
does not have. It is much easier for me to write it as I already have a very
good idea what information needs to be included and with some minimal research
to verify facts and collect some supporting stuff like statistics I can produce
it much faster.
My method is to use a white board to first
mind map the content. For those not
familiar with mind mapping it’s a great way to get ideas down. In the old days they used to talk about brain
storming where you would just write down a list of ideas. Mind mapping is so much better because it
lets you group and link ideas. It is far
more natural and according to its proponents much more like the human mind
works. Once I have it all down I will
sit and stare at time for a while and compose in my mind the structure for the
content. After that writing it is fairly
easy. I am also converting my christopherbennetts.info
site into a Security Blog and write about security there.
