New way to blog…

I’ve completely revamped the way I blog…. Let’s start with a touch-o-history… I started blogging with Live journal back in the day…  It had an amazing blog format with great networking with friends…

But I never liked how I didn’t “own” my blog.  I know it seems like a petty complaint, but that was one of the reasons for leaving.  I then started this WordPress blog which I host in my own domain space.  But I lost a lot of the networking capabilities of LJ.

Well much has changed with social networking sites and it took me a while to jump back in.  But I think I’ve found a good combination of features to cobble together my own thing.  So here it is.

My main blog is still here.  When I have large posts (like this one) I’ll enter it straight into WordPress.  A full crosspost will get sent to Livejournal (Thanks to a nifty little WP plugin) Facebook will get a Twitter (Due to it’s small post sizes) and Myspace gets a Twitter (Due to the fact that Myspace doesn’t play nice with others due to it’s lack of an API) and Twitter gets a Twitter (Obviously)

If its a small post, I’ll enter it into Twitter, which will then get posted to WordPress, Livejournal, Facebook and Twitter (again obviously).  Then Myspace will get the posts via a small widget I have installed (again because they refuse to play well with others.)

Also I’ll be setting up Twitter to do phone posts soon.

So, in theory, I post once and all my sites/blogs get it and you’re free to follow it as you like (or not).  If you want to comment on any post, just do so in the site of your choice.

This post kind of acts as a test for the whole set-up.  So we’ll see how this goes.  🙂
