Asides

I was thinking about the whole issue of asides, and wondered if the way Matt describes is the same as I see it. I don’t.

An aside, to me, has to have a context (i.e. it should be in proximity to the information it relates to) but the method of adding asides as “separate” information seems “strange” somehow.I don’t think Matt’s wrong, I just think I have a different take on the whole issue.

I can see where Matt’s coming from, but my idea is that these asides should be more like something one might find in a play, or even a conversationthe sort of thing said just before you say “anyway, as I was saying…”, although I appreciate that a weblog entry is a mostly-one sided affair.

Anywaydid you see what I did there? :), this is my take on the whole asides issue. If you feel the same and like it, feel free to use it. Get the plugin.
