To be decided

Charlotta Windahl

First challenge when writing a blog: to choose an alias. Something that will capture every single blog that will ever be written, something that will identify without being too revealing and something... the essence, the identity...

Must admit, I don't know much about blogs, don't really know why people chose an alias, guess not everyone does, and on this site it doesn't really matter, because my name is there anyway... but it looks good, doesn't it? It helps to form the blog and maybe it also has some links to the function of the blog, who knows. (My first alias was form and function by the way, but it turned out to be too contagious so here I am.. trying to find another one, and I am defintely experiencing the first paragraph again)

Must admit 2, I did not know the full story behind 'form and function' - which was my first alias. The expression popped up in my head, and then I found out that the expression 'form follows function' or more specifically 'that form ever follows function' is a principle linked to modern architecture and industrial design. Not necessarily wanting to get into the 'follow' discussion I thought that 'and' was more appropriate. It turned out that I was wrong. And now I need to change it.

What about Good Intentions? Or mabye not.. I think I need some more time to decide, but that's ok isn't it?

Changing needs
First, I think most people would agree with me if I said that products need to address the needs of the customers in order to be successful (bearing in mind that the needs can be expressed or latent). Second, this is a lot easier said than done. Now, let's start the blog...   Six months ago I started ...
