End of this (Personal (Very…)) category

This entry was posted on Sunday, February 15th, 2004 at 5:27 PM and is filed under Personal (Very...).

So yeah, I’ve decided, by and large, to discontinue this category. Please see this new blog that I set up for all the stuff (and probably more) that would have gone in here if I hadn’t discontinued this category.

I just sometimes feel like some of the stuff that I put in this category are just … fluff … that aren’t in keeping with the topics that this blog is focused around. They’re things that maybe my readers care about because of the fact that they grew to have an interest in me as a person, not things that are inherently interesting to anyone interested in the other topics that I blog about.

So, feel free to hope over there and maybe even subscribe. I’d even added in comments, as well as links back to the SayHi HiScript of this blog, so people can say hi and stuff. That blog is for me to write about stuff without analyzing it. This blog is for me to analyze it. So expect me to link to that blog a fair amount, but expect rare amounts of linkage from that blog to this one, and even when I do, I won’t TrackBack (iBlog doesn’t support TrackBack).

As an ego booster, if you intend to subscribe/look-at that blog, please leave a comment there. If you don’t, please leave a comment here. I’d like to be responsive to the concerns of my readers, and I’m not really certain that having category specific RSS feeds went far enough to distinguish the content that some of my readers cared about from the sort of content that they didn’t care about.

Anyway, hopefully that will be the last time that I make a post to this blog asking for an ego booster - posts like that should be reserved for that blog - unless you all tell me otherwise.

You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Well at first I was sceptical - why would one need 2 blogs, I asked myself? But upon browsing your new blog, I can see it’s more a diary type site. And I for one don’t have time to read someone else’s diary, so it now makes sense for you to separate it from your more ‘formal’ blog. I may browse your personal blog from time to time, to get some context for your formal blog.

I have added your new blog to my RSS feed reader (Bloglines). I may find myself reading that blog more than this one; I like the personal aspects of blogging, and that is what I tend to gravitate toward.

I like the idea.

Thanks for the diversity of opinions that you all promptly offered!

I’m glad that it seems to have been the right idea, with some folks being more interested in one and some being more interested in the other.

And of course, if you’re interested in both, you can feel free to subscribe to both!

lol…we all need an ego booster now and then Andrew. ;) Sounds like an interesting idea actually…and hey! Yet another link to add to my favs. Perhaps you could a general link somewhere on here to your other blog though? Or is there already one and I just didn’t see it. :P Anywhoos…I’ll pop onto both when I can…I like to read both your personal posts and your more serious and ordered ones. :)

I can completely understand your need to separate the formal or academic (<– term I use for my teaching blog) from the personal because I do just that. Sometimes each leaks into another, but they are relatively different and important for me. You rule. Can’t wait to meet up with you and talk BLOG in Texas.
