I happened to notice a post over on Gina Gaudio-Grave’s Blog that really helps explain how to use trackback, thought you might like to read it:

On trackbacks, if you use WordPress, I think all you have to do it copy the permalink for the post and use that to link back here. There is a place to paste track back links below the post editor in WP, but I haven’t found the need to use it. I have trackbacks enabled, so give it a shot!

They are both lying on their backs and staring at the clouds and owl is saying “I see a map of London, see there’s the river Thames running through the middle and there’s the Tower of London and - and Buckingham Palace and … ”

And Winnie the Pooh has a thought bubble and a puzzled expression and he’s thinking ” .. and I was going to say that I see a puppy with a floppy ear and a smiley face …”

and the point I guess is that a business plan is a map made of insubstantial thoughts and imagined out of thin air into a mission(vision) statement - while dreams are made of the same thing but are not moulded into anything other than a vague concept of what should be there.

Great post on how to mind map by the way - in a similar fashion I also have a notebook with doodles and diagrams and paths and concepts - this post has helped me remember to conceptualise a wider reach - the ’stakeholders’ as you call them, and I will need to expand my thinking about that.

PS When I figure out how to do a trackback I’ll link to it, it’s a very owlish concept.
