Using Mind Maps
If you’ve been observant, you may have noticed that I’ve been referring to, and providing links to, articles on UsingMindMaps.com. Today, I would like to position the reason for setting up UsingMindMaps.com. MindMapTutor.com is a blog, which is the final resting ground of my weekly articles. My steadily growing subscriber base can go to MindMapTutor.com for archives of older postings. While this has served me, and my subscriber base, very well, it is not the easiest site to navigate.

Strangely, this was one of the more difficult articles to write. It surprised me, as I was thinking for some time about the first article for 2010. It had to be inspirational but not one of those New Year’s resolution ones that have already been forgotten. The scene had already been set in previous articles, Your results are a reflection of a year’s work, Passion makes perfect and MindMapTutor guidelines. I had the idea fixed quite clearly in my mind, as well as the points I wanted to get across to you, the reader. Yet the writing...

Last week’s article ‘passion makes perfect’, set the scene for the year. This week’s article gives you an overview of how information will be delivered on MindMapTutor.com in 2010.
