		<description>Hey Richard,

Thanks for the very cool suggestions and comments.

I definitely hear where you are coming from. Its a tough call to make due to the fact that I don&#039;t really want to isolate any one group of readers. As far as I can tell I have a very diverse readership. I get questions from people just starting out with PHP or even questions about customizing a WordPress template and then I also get people who ask way more advanced questions.

With that said, I definitely want to get more advanced posts out there and I actually have a few in mind. I think it is all about balance. A little bit of everything. I would prefer to do about 2 advanced posts to 1 basic post and then tech posts scattered in between.

As you say, it is definitely about quality and not quantity. It is important for me though to get at least 1 post out each day to keep the flow and to keep me going at it.

Anyway, enough rambling from me :) Thanks again.</description>

		<description>How about blog posts that cover things that aren&#039;t covered in the zillion other PHP tutorial sites. I always find that developer blogs get cheapened by basic PHP related stuff that&#039;s been covered many times before.

I (and possibly others) find development posts that cover the day in and day out stuff of development work more interesting. Things like scaling, work-flow, SVN, best-practices, working with and managing a team will engage the developer audience. This is one of the things that the 37Signals, Carsonfied and others blogs do well. They share hard earned knowledge rather than code snippets.

Personally I&#039;d rather see you post more informative useful posts rather than quick no-to-useful ones because you need to fill your post a day quota.

Maybe I have it wrong. There clearly are lots of PHP experts out there that don&#039;t even know how to get the ASCII integer value for a text character. Since most peeps out there learned their PHP by using it rather than via some kind of structured course means that there are huge gaping holes in their PHP (and dare I say programming) knowledge, so maybe the basics fill in those gaps. 

Keeps the great posts coming. Remember it&#039;s quality not quantity.</description>
