Splitting Up The Blog

For a while now, this blog has served a few different “masters” in terms of focus – I’ve basically used it to talk about whatever I want to talk about. But for the last few months, I’ve been thinking about splitting it up into different blogs, each with a different focus.

And now, it’s done. The blogs are:

• Mark Is Not A Geek: This blog, which will remain my ‘personal’ blog, for amusing anecdotes and non-tech-related articles.
  
• Opinionated Mark: For articles/rants discussing my opinion on various tech-related stuff.
  
• Another Line of Code: Programming-related articles and advice.
  
• MarkKB’s Software Blog: Articles and announcements related to the software I develop.

This split will allow people to follow the stuff that they want, without having to sift through the stuff they don’t want. It’ll also be a lot easier for me to organise. (It will also pressure me to blog more often, since I hate seeing five-month-old blogs at the top of the page. ^^; )

I’ve already moved the old posts across, but there’s still a bit of work to do – I still have to redirect the old posts to the new ones, and import the comments. I’ll also have to redesign the blogs so they all fit nicely together (and fit with my website), and also update the link the website header (although those two I’m going to do with the next design update of my website, which will be ready next year.)

Finally, if you just want to follow the whole lot, I’ll be posting links in my Tumblr blog, MarkKB’s Thoughts and Stuff.

I’d be interested if you think splitting my blog is a good or bad idea, so if you have an opinion, sound off in the comments below.

Until next time!

And now for something completely different

I’ve been thinking about doing some reviews for stuffs for a while. So this is me, announcing my intent to review stuffs.

Yes.

Well, I may not actually review much, if anything, depending on how lazy I am much I procrastinate much time I have, but I at least intend to do something.

Hmm.

Well anyway, this  is me signing off for now. Fair thee well!

Slow Internet and Trackbacks

On a sad note, due to a screw-up with the guy who wanted to change us to Telstra Clear broadband, we’ve been on dial-up this last week. (And, due to another screw-up with technical support, it was all unnecessary – Vodafone hadn’t disconnected us yet!) Fun.

In other news, this blog now has trackbacks (thanks to JS-Kit), so if you want to show your readers what a blog with no readers looks like, I’ll know about your blog post. Yays!

Welcome to teh blog!

Well, here it is. Meh new bloggeh! Feel free to make yourselves at home, but don't touch the walls - the paint's still a little wet. :D

Well, there's some anecdotes that happened over the summer that I've forgotten to blog about. Rest assured, they're coming... So too are some geeky stuff, but I'm sure you're all used to that by now. :)

Moving...

This post was originally posted at my Windows Live Spaces blog. Yes, I'm well aware of the irony involved. [View original post]

I'm sorry, Windows Live Spaces. No, it's not you, it's me.

Okaaay, bad metaphor. Still, the fact remains that I'm moving this blog to http://markkeyb.blogspot.com/. For the four or five people who read this blog (yes, that's an overestimation), that means you'll get to see new posties an' stuff. For everyone else... well... I'll give you candy? OK, well I can't give you candy due to obvious technological hurdles, but the instant they invent a way of transferring candy over the Internet, I'll be right on it. ;)

What about all the old posties? Well, they're coming too, so you don't have to switch between blogs to see them. It also makes it easier for those types who read all the posts to the beginning and then moan about having to go back yet another blog. :D

See ya on the other side!
