Actually, now that I think about it, the birds in the PDX area don’t fly South for the winter. If the weather gets really bad, they just get a motel on the Oregon Coast. But seriously, folks, as you may know, I had four WordPress blogs, a Blogger blog, a Posterous blog and also have a LinkedIn page and a Facebook page. And I tweet. A lot. More than any other Portlander, I think.
Something had to give – and it was five of the six blogs. I’ve left the Posterous blog on line – I’m still moving posts from it to this one. And I’ve left http://borasky-research.net/smart-at-znmeb on line, because there are still some links to it out there. But I’ve imported all of its posts, comments and pages here.
I’ve imported the Blogger blog here and deleted it. And I’ve imported the Linux Capacity Planning blog and the AlgoCompSynth blog posts, comments and pages here as well and deleted them. So this is it – my only blog! Accept no substitutes!
Other changes:
- I’ve switched from the Carrington theme to the Atahualpa theme. I went through a lot of themes in the process, and in the end, it was the fact that I could get a three-column blog easily and the nature images at the top that led me to this one. It’s amazingly flexible and powerful.
- I’ve integrated IntenseDebate commenting. This means you can log in with openID, Twitter or Facebook to comment, and your comments everywhere in the IntenseDebate world can be synchronized. I didn’t really do any investigation of IntenseDebate vs. Disqus as a comment management platform – there’s a popular WordPress plugin for IntenseDebate, so I went with it.
- Each post has buttons at the bottom so you can post it on Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon and a few other places. Each post also has a TweetMeme retweet button.
Consolidation can always be a good thing when it comes to many blogs. Nice choice on the theme. I think I like InteseDebate better than Disqus. I also love your choice of Latin as the byline.
