Well, I am not against JIT fully, but I think too many CPAs and CFOs, Corporate Boards cut too deep and some of the early technology (web based) sold too hard and many partners got taken for a ride as some of the early VC split the scene.

As I'm not a professional blogger, I need to maintain my blog while having a full-time job ( and a life for that matter -)). I've been looking into several ways to become more effective in maintaining and writing a blog. All the time I spend with blogging can actually be divided in 4 large chunks :

Setup and maintenance of my blog : setting up the blog, installing plugins, blog design, ...
Traffic generation and analysis: search engine & directory submission, search engine optimization ,..
Sourcing : finding good sources or material to write about
Writing posts : writing new posts from the collected information

Collecting link or RSS directories as a starting point to new related sources
Search engines

Although I used some very good tools to read E-mail, browse RSS feeds and organize bookmarks, I have been looking for the one tool that bundles all of these ( for free ). I found this combination in My Yahoo and more ...

To start, I divide My Yahoo in several pages : a home page where all my key content appears and some side pages where I put focussed content on.

The home page is divided in 3 columns : 2 sidebars and a larger middle section.

The left sidebar contains 2 modules :

A Search box which allows you to immediately start searching topics using the Yahoo search engine. Searches can be personalized in order to find the most relevant content according your preferences.
A Calendar that lists your tasks to do, Eg. Plan to research on a certain topic or to write a new article at a certain day. Besides using it as a blog time management tool, it can also be synchronized with your existing appointments on your palm or outlook.

The middle column contains :

A mail preview box to preview your incoming mail
A notepad to list new ideas or draft concepts for your next posts
A list of modules previewing the latest posts from your key RSS sources

The right sidebar contains :

A module to Add content from Yahoo's listings or any other RSS feed. An even more valuable sourcing technique is the possibility to create your own custom RSS feeds based on keywords !
