The Web Publisher - Preface

A friend of mine and myself are regular watchers of DP/30. These are great interviews made by David Poland and are part of his blog. The blog itself has been moved and he has made an attempt (actually multiple attempts) to build a separate site around the DP/30 format.

As said, these interviews are very good and highly entertaining. But I always found it hard to follow his content. Videos were sometimes linked, sometimes embedded as Google Video, snippets on YouTube, embedded and downloadable HD .mov.

I love small content providers trying to get their stuff out there. Partly because this is how I believe people will distribute culture in the near future. And partly because these people are currently producing the most essential and influential material available.

I have made a few notes and ran a few tests on different problems David Poland (as an example) is facing as an internet publisher. I hope to interview a few people who may have gathered experience in this field and I am hoping for some meaningful comments. In a series, will consecutively post my personal views on different technical aspects when publishing to the internet. I hope to thereby assist you with some crucial decisions you have to make as a hobbyist or solo publisher.
