2008 Blog Changes

Scanning back through my blog entries from 2007, I see two distinct topics; family-related articles, and technology-related entries. Because of this, I’m considering splitting my blog into two separate blogs. That way next year, my grandma doesn’t have to wade through the tech entries, and my gaming/computer friends don’t get bored by pictures of my kids. Those of you who both like technology and want to keep up with the family may end up reading two blogs instead of one.

Currently, all my blog entries are first posted at robohara.com and then copied to Live Journal, MySpace, and Atari Age. I haven’t worked out all the details, but I’m thinking about something along these lines:

robohara.com (family blog)
cc: Live Journal, MySpace

robohara.com/tech (tech/gaming blog)
cc: Atari Age, and maybe a new MySpace account.

robohara.com has a subscription list you can sign up for to receive e-mail updates when new blog entries are posted. I will add that to my new tech blog as well. MySpace also has a subscription feature that e-mails you when new entries does not. I prefer Live Journal to MySpace for blogging, but without an e-mail notification system, it’s hard for people to keep track of updates (at least it is for me).

Still working out the kinks here — nothing’s set in stone, but after thinking about this more this morning, I think I’m going to move forward with it.
