Time for a primer

Something I'm discovering to be tough in this little blogging project is finding a lowest common denominator for the level at which I want to write. There are some topics where I'll admit a high amount of ignorance while others I might be able to call myself an expert. However, this blog isn't just about what I know; what you readers know is also important.

I can wax poetic on something but if you don't have a clue about it, you won't get it and you'll stop reading. So, my challenge is giving enough information to let you know what I mean while simultaneously making my point with brevity. If I ever post something that makes you wish you could raise your and ask a question, you can. Just leave a comment on the blog and I'll be happy to explain.

There have probably been posts to date and there will certainly be some in the future that could create this kind of issue. Please, don't be shy. I said at the outset that my goal is to make people think and I know when I think, I have questions and unless I get answers, I won't learn much.

This makes 40 posts for my blog, well on the way to my goal of 365 in a year. There are roughly 11 views per day so I know someone is reading. I have several drafts in the works but while working on one in particular, I realized that there will be a wide range of understanding on the selected topic so I have to be sure that I craft it in such a way that almost everyone will get it.

I know I said I want to create "dumbfundities" but I don't want to create confusion.
