After seven-plus years of using the Web, I know where the juice is.

			<outline text="You can't really be on the Web, and respect your readers, without being generous. So you might as well make the words that go with the links generous too. My teacher on this is a very wise man named &lt;a href=&quot;http://archipelago.phrasewise.com/2002/01/01&quot;&gt;Daniel Berlinger&lt;/a&gt;. I always get a cheerful word and link from Daniel. Is there anything wrong with this? No, in fact, it's a lesson. Link with a negative vibe if you have to, but why not find something positive, and let the irritation be, and not necessarily share it? That's something I can do better in 2002." created="Tue, 01 Jan 2002 14:46:47 GMT"/>
			<outline text="A challenge to my fellow web-writers for 2002. Respect your readers' right to hear other points of view. If you want to grow your flow and your business through the Web, you have to adopt its generous spirit. Just like the locked trunks of the software industry, it's been proven over and over that sites that withholds links are dead-ends, and people sniff it out quickly, and go to the places that distribute flow in more interesting ways.
