I leave my notes at the bottom of my posts. It is a combination link dump, half thoughts, speculation, parts I was too exhausted to flesh out.

I recommend the technique.

- It is actually the part that is the most valuable for me to refer to, since the actual content of the post I understand well by the time I write it.

- It has generated the most conversations, since people are more interested in pipping up about an unsolved problem than a solved one.

- It helps me edit since tossing stuff back there helps me more ruthlessly delete without the irrevocable loss of some paragraph I kind of liked.

- It gets it out there. Perfection is the enemy of the good.
