IMPORTANT: This repository is under construction and many links are back to the initial source of publication in many cases, pre-2025, being LinkedIn. Links on this site will continue to become self-referential. There are articles in this repository not otherwise published. During reconstruction, the updated links that point back to this website are colorized and include links both to here and to LinkedIn and will usually open a new tab. The LinkedIn articles may not be the most current version. This website is authoritative for the current state of any publication.
[The Sets and Series {category} used for LinkedIn are deprecated here and superseded by the far superior native Category and Tag system used on this facility. The Sets and Series post is still on LinkedIn, but significantly now outdated. See Help.] The coloration will change in the future but now distinguishes articles that have been updated with AI reviews (green). The policy for articles published on this site is that AI is not used for drafting and used only where indicated in or by the article, such as AI conversations or AI reviews.
Thank you for your interest. Following is an index of articles published on LinkedIn. Certain numbers are omitted or do not follow systematically by expired advertisement or other irregularity. When I first began to publish articles on LinkedIn, I did not expect to publish so many articles, or so often, or on so many diverse topics. Such as they are, and with all faults. But having now the opportunity to reflect upon the articles published over a period of time, I thought it might be helpful—for the purpose of future reference—to provide an easily accessible index. Thank you for reading. ~ Gregg Zegarelli
