Future of this blog 14 Sep 2005

I’d just like to say what a great tool the ‘Top Posts from around WordPress.com’ and ‘Latest Posts’ sections are. They’re simply fantastic when you’re looking for something interesting to read. As an example, I just came across a post detailing the exact same problem I’m facing: now I have two blogs, how do I divide up the content between them?

To begin with, I’d like to point out that if it does nothing else, david.wordpress.com has spurred me into writing again. I’m getting into the frame of mind where whenever I read anything, I’m thinking in the back of my mind, ‘Can I blog that?’. Although my reasons for not doing this previously have been a decrease in my signal to noise ratio, I now realise that it’s important to Keep Blogigng or you’ll Stop Blogging.

I’m still keeping my options open for david.wordpress.com. You may notice that there are as of yet no categories here: that’s deliberate, as I want to keep the spectrum of what I consider ‘valid’ content as wide as possible. That means not shoehorning everything into a list of certain categories. Of course, I’ll eventually set up some form of categorisation here. Ideally, Matt would let us enable plugins and I’d get a tagging plugin set up

Hmm, actually, having a sample set of plugins isn’t a bad idea. I’ll send that off as feedback

Anyway, here’s a list of what david.wordpress.com might eventually turn out to be:

• A notepad
• Inspiration for xmouse articles
• Simply a platform for keeping up with the latest and greatest WordPress version
• A second publishing platform, perhaps just for my asides

And so on.
