   This is a good introduction to website planning. Thanks for this, it will be very handy for me when I migrate to a self-hosted WordPress.

   K77xx3,

   I used MindJet MindManger but warning, it’s a little pricey. I also linked to a free tool called “FreeMind” that is a little less robust but essentially does the same thing as well as a copy of the map in the FreeMind format on my blog entry for this video.

  Mindmap? I would say bubbl.us, it’s free and great for sharing with other Developers

   As a newbie I had not even thought to be this organized with my content. I can really see how it will make the flow easy and fun. Love the concept … like all great ideas very obvious in hindsight. Thank you.

   I currently use bubbl.us, but find it a bit awkward sometimes. I think i will give mindJet mindManger a look at for my next project.

   Just stumbled on wordpress.tv today, i can see me being on here wayyy to much of the day now.

    Thanks for this great explanation. I often find that in the excitement of putting up a new blog I often skip some of the planning that is so important.

    I try to use a great free mindmap program for mac call MindNode.

    Thank you, Scott! Great insight for focusing on the basics. You’ve organized my thoughts and direction and you’re right – the brainstorm was awesome fun! I enjoyed the visual presentation of the organization chart. I was quite able to relate it to my needs and ideas. It also inspired new questions and new ideas. Time to go to work – this is going to be cool!

    Peace!
