Good start! 🙂 Although there’s a certain irony in your first blog post being about how not to blog – maybe Sin no. 1 should be “Not Blogging at All” :p You’d better keep it up now!
I think you could also take your sins and apply them to anyone aspiring to become a thought leader of any sort – all good solid advice.
Best

I agree with you Graham, consistency and focus are greatly valued. Sin 4- favoritism- is when you blind yourself and ignore that there is alternative music out there and although the Mozart piano sonata is what you are wanting to hear, other sounds can stimulate you as well. Innovation is made up of many different sounds (and opinions) and we can’t stay wedded to one type if it does not solve the problem, we need to consider the options. It is still a sin to just favour one in a world of possibilities. I have just laid out my blogging intent for this site, now I have to strive for some consistency so you get that value- cheers Paul

Several of these sins seem familiar 😉
I disagree with #4; in fact, I believe the opposite is true. As a reader, I want to be able to select blogs on the basis of whether their topic interests me or not. If I’m interested in Mozart’s piano sonatas and there is a blog on exactly that topic, then that’s all I’m interested in reading about there. I value this as consistency.

You have a distinctive voice in the field of innovation, and a deft way of putting things. More than once, you’ve helped me to see new ways of expressing thoughts that I would have approached clumsily.
Good luck to you!
Michael

A great start to your blogging career. Hopefully you’ll find blogging about innovation as interesting and thought provoking as I have. And, I’m sure you’ll have plenty of readers to keep you from shortsightedness and myopia.
Good luck!

Yes congrats on starting bloggin. It’s one of the best things I/we ever did professionally speaking. And like Steve I am probably guilty of all 7 but don’t let that stop me.
Enjoy the conversations!
Roland

Let me be the first to congratulate you on the new blog. Your first entry is spot on. And I suspect I fall victim (maybe quite often) to the sins you list. It is a good reminder.
Thanks and have fun!
Steve
