Feeds

At the moment I'm working on how to gather the content of this blog, my Flickr feed, Twitter, and any other places I post things on the web into one place. This would mean that you, dear reader, would be able to keep up to date by visiting just one site, or by subscribing to just one feed.

That will mean that you will be able to see my South African photos without checking Flickr.

The technology is called Tumble Logging, though you don't really need to worry about that.

I think I'll also make subscribing via email possible, so that those who don't have a clue what RSS is don't have to miss out.

Just saying, so you know why things are quiet here...

By the way, it's so nice to be writing again. In a previous post I mentioned the idea that blogging is somehow "pure". I think this is because it doesn't have the same orientation towards sound-bytes, or strap lines that characterise tweets, Facebook comments and status updates, or SMS.

Fessing up
I've been meaning to redesign my blog for almost a year, but just haven't gotten round to it. Part of it is down to time. I spend so much time working on the web these days that I should really go running instead of spending my non-work-time designing and coding.

The other part is that I'm such a perfectionist that I find it really hard to settle on a design for myself. Somehow it's easier to visually define someone else than to do the same for myself. Every day I'm inspired by different and apparently contradictory design work, so choosing a style I can happily live with is a nightmare.

I'm also hoping to relocate at some point. This might involve Wordpress and a non-blogspot domain name...we'll see. I do seem to have a strange feeling of allegiance to Blogger.
