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.

Hi
What software is this?

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.

This is great stuff. I am a beginner and trying to start a website.

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!

Zagoumenov, I’ve been using wordloo.com as a place to search for articles and blogs for link building opportunities. I ended up signing up for the Pro account which for me seems to be the most helpful aspect of wordloo.com. I can save my keywords and keep them organized, and for me it’s a huge time saver because everything I need to do my link building is there. So for daily basis use it’s great because I can log in and instantly have my keywords there and search them and get the most current results. Plus I used to use Google blog to find link building opportunities and wordloo.com brings in Google blog and news results and others, I like Icerocket, so I’m not going to multiple sources for blogs and articles. I really like using it, try it out some more and hopefully it will be as helpful for you as it is for me; but, remember I use the Pro account so maybe try that and see what you think.
