Better Insights, Better Results

Sources of Insight is two years old as of Sep 1st, 2010. A year ago, I posted that Sources of Insight is one year old.
This is just a quick note that I made some changes on Sources of Insight. The main things I changed are the sidebar and the menu. On the sidebar, I moved some things around, chopped "Resources" and renamed "Categories" to "Topics." I tried to move everything upward so it's easier to browse the topics. I like to make space and keep things clean.

Sources of Insight is really driven by one thing – to help you make the most of work and life. One of the things that surprised me about Sources of Insight is how many people have asked me about the design of it. It's a work in progress, but there is certainly an element of design about it.
If it's not working, fix it. That's my take.
I had made some changes recently as part of my Spring cleaning for Sources of Insight. The problem is, while I think some of the changes were good, I think some of the changes were less effective and actually exposed other problems.
It had to be done. Out with the old, in with the new. In this case, it was a bit more like spit and polish. I cleaned up Sources of Insight to get rid of some of the things that were bugging me. I consider it an example of sweeping in action.
Here are the outcomes I wanted to achieve:
A tag line that resonates and inspires
A simpler and more useful set of categories for my posts
A simpler and more useful set of tags for my posts
