I would say yes. Members of the site will be interested in both general news from the world of CAD and related topics, such as new technologies and artificial intelligence, which are subjects I pay particular attention to. On the other hand, these same members will also be people who will probably not ask questions for the most part, but will try to answer them since they are users of Autodesk CAD software, which is my main target audience. So I would say that I cannot separate the two themes by saying that there are two pieces of content per theme. The two themes, and therefore the two ways of presenting things, are potentially of common interest to both.
Definitively yes.
No, because I myself am a long-time community manager in the field of CAD, with 40 years of experience using CAD software and well over 25 years of managing communities on forums. I know my audience very well. And I know that some of the people who want to answer technical CAD questions will be put off by the blog format. On the other hand, I don’t want to deprive them of the information that my blog will provide. It’s a matter of personal preference, hence the choice between the two themes. I know that some people I know very well will be put off by the blog aspect and will go straight to the simpler theme. And I know that others, who may not necessarily be technical people, but perhaps technical and sales people from certain CAD editors, for example, will be very interested in the blog aspect while also enjoying taking a look at the technical side of software support questions.
Yes, of course. Thank you for your questions. They may inspire others who might have similar questions. My case is certainly specific, but in my opinion, it is definitely not unique.
