Make your Revit Blog or Site password free...

Many people need to read the book entitled "Free" by Chris Anderson or follow Seth Godin's Blog or Books.

I don't know how many times I have seen a link on twitter, linkedin or a blog post with an interesting Revit topic.  I click on it only to find out the site needs you to fill out membership info.  To sign up you need to add a lot of information, read the funky twisted letters that I never get right the first time and then you have to wait for an email so you can confirm that you actually use the email you entered.  Finally, I get into the site only to find the headline of the article more interesting than the article itself.

If you don't intend to charge anyone for your site anyway, don't give me a hassle trying to access it since I probably will not come back after all the difficultly.  You can revel in the membership numbers of your site but the daily readership will most likely be low.  If you don't have stat tracking, get Google analytics and check out your visitor loyalty... I bet it is really low.  If you don't have an RSS feed that I can access without any additional information, I will not read what you put time and effort into preparing.

There are more than 100 blogs on BIM/Revit/Business/Design that I follow... too bad you make it too difficult to follow yours.
