Website news

As some of you have already noticed, I’ve added another section to my website: a Books on Personal Development bookstore.

Believe it or not, it was easier for me to set this aStore (Amazon.com) page than to spend time trying to design a similar book description page of my own. More changes will follow in the next few weeks, like a list of the books I’m currently reading.

This is obviously just the beginning. As of right now, you can see (and buy) only 4 books I have listed there, and I’ve given a very short recommendation to every book. So far I offer you only the books I have personally read and liked so much that I want to recommend them for your reading.

I will be working on further improvements to this section, as I feel really limited by aStore’s allowance for a book description text. I haven’t decided yet, how exactly I will share my full reviews on the books I suggest for your reading, but as always, you will be the first to know as soon as something is formed :)

Let me know what you think, and please feel free to share your recommendations for other books to read. Thanks in advance!

In the spirit of constant improvement, I’ve started cleaning up the earliest posts of mine. During the past few months I’ve learned a bit about writing and presenting articles, and so practically every old article had gone through a set of cosmetic changes.

I will be refreshing all the old articles as they badly need better formatting, and will keep you posted about my progress.

If you’ve been reading this blog since the very beginning – I would like to thank you and suggest you do open the articles and glance through them quickly – it will help you refresh your mind and also memorize some of the important points.

If you’re a reader who discovered this blog just recently, I would like to welcome you and offer these articles as the best way to learn how I got started with my personal development and what thoughts I had half a year ago:

• Never Leave A Question Unanswered
• Finding Time For Everything
• Quick Recovery

For those of you who are more comfortable with reading emails than subscribing to RSS feeds, I’ve just created a way for you to subscribe to my regular email updates.

You should find the subscribe form on the side panel of every page of my blog, and it will only take few seconds for you to activate your subscription. The registration form is also found on my Email Updates page, if you prefer.

As of right now, email updates will be just exactly what it says – regular updates delivering the latest articles on personal development straight to your inbox. If I see a lot of interest in email service, I may also create a weekly or monthly feature which will have additional information never posted on this blog.

Let me know what you think, I’m open to any suggestions, as always!

Since I’ve enabled full-text feeds, I’ve seen that almost every subscriber of Personal Development Ideas feed now reads me through a news reader and rarely makes it to the actual website.

While this was the idea – make things easier for you, I’ve just noticed a few days ago that because of this all the feed readers miss out on the related articles section of posts. That’s why I’ve been working on bringing such functionality into feeds as well.

Let me know what you think.

In a spirit of constant improvement, I’ve finally created a decent archives page for this blog, listing every single post in the short history of Personal Development Blog, sorted by month for your convenience.
