Ok, so I finally got around to setting up a pair of LJ RSS syndication accounts for my new blog.
The first, will track all the entries that I post to my blog. The second, will get all the posts except those that deal with chess, since I know that may be of less interest to the general viewing population. There aren't that many non-chess posts right now, but they're coming, including an interview with a photographer whose work I quite like and the first book review I've written since the second grade....
So if you care about any of that, go add one or the other to your feed list. If you're the RSS reader type you can get the actual feed link from the info page for the LJ syndication account.
I'm not syndicating my tweets, because my tweets are stupid. You know how to find them if you want them.
Also, while I find this an inconvenient way to consume other people's photography, Flickr does provide an RSS feed of whatever I upload and you can find that here if you are so inclined. |

( Chess anyone? )
In other news, those new RSS feeds I talked about a while back should be together soon...I'm finishing things up on the new site and brushing the dust off of my old php skillz.

So for some time I've been planning to consolidate my online pressence(s) into one place and streamline, as well as de-anonymize myself. To that end, I've set up a wordpress site on my home server, and it replaces the old njord.org/~steve, which was terribly out of date. The new site is a conglomeration of my old blog on blogger detailing my efforts to grok the game of chess, my photographic musings, and (eventually) reviews of books that I read.
I'm pretty cynical about the internet, so my reasons for putting all this online is less because I think anyone cares about it and more because it motivates me to think and write about the things that I care about.
The new site can be found at http://njord.org/~steve, but first a warning: because I imported all my old chess posts, they vastly outnumber any other material there right now. Going forward, I plan to be a bit more balanced about the content.
One of the other motivations for consolidation was my dissatisfaction with LJ as a place to post anything I really cared about. I found that I mostly wanted to post random crap here, and I've realized that's more what twitter is about than LJ, so I'm now experimenting with twitter, and my twitter name is stevewollkind.
Finally, I have to decide what to do with my LJ. I'll keep the account so I can read locked posts and comment, but I'm uncertain about the rest and therefore I'm going to ask you guys.
- One possibility is to simply never post anything here again and let people use various RSS feeds to decide which post categories they care about from the new blog and to read my twitter if they want. This will be annoying to anyone who doesn't use RSS (or twitter) and just wants to read LJ and still cares about what I say.
- Another possibility is to crosspost everything to LJ using various wordpress and twitter plugins. This is the most seamless, but may annoy people who really don't care about what I have to say about chess.
- A final possibility is to get someone with a paid account to set up lj syndication of feeds from the new blog so people can use LJ to pick and choose what they see. This seems like going too far given that I don't have anything worth saying in the first place.
I'm leaning towards just full crossposting (or crossposting with exerpts or something) and anyone annoyed by the new content on their friends' page can just filter me off of it, but if people have opinions, I'd be curious as to what they are before I (likely) ignore them and go with what seems to make the most sense to me....Current Mood:  accomplished |
