Undo
If you have your online presence set-up for 7 years in one manner, there is a good chance it will take you more than 7 hours to undo. I am attempting to dissect my blogging /social media into two categories: social and work-related. Easier said than done:
- Use same name/Buy a new domain?
- Choose new blogging platform and Create skeleton framework
- Choose new aggregator
- Learn New blogging platform
- Learn new aggregator
- Communicate to friends on the move
- Locate widgets and find appropriate buttons
- Consider new tags
- To import or not
- Purchase more space? a new domain? (can never ask this question too much) toys?
- Find out why picture is not loading as a sidebar
And the list goes on an on. Yesterday, it was 3 hours of reading; today yet another 3 hours. All of the work will pay off, but yikes. Seriously, choose wisely and if you do plan to upend your internet presence, do be prepared to spend hours upon hours.
It is fortunate that this is not just a hobby for me; I can use all the Word Press lessons at work. It was the deciding factor.

Word press and wikis: interoperate
So, I am on mission to make life easier. First off, I am sick of converting html and wiki tags. I asked and am waiting to hear if I can use the free mini-app. Not that there is anything wrong with basic coding, but am sick of <br> without a closing tag. It strains my punctuation brain.
On Friday night, a friend explained his attempts to integrate a word press blog into the corporate wiki. Sigh. I really hoped that it was a feasible option. If one of the smartest coders I know gets stumped, it is time to think of other options.
My hot Sunday afternoon is memorizing the FAQs on word press. Tomorrow I propose and create an internal blog for my company department. We use wikis, status pages etc, but communication is so important. And so, my personal addiction conspires to inspire and improve my new role
An unconference to feed my brain! And, a comic to warm my heart.
To cite a recent Bruce Sterling short-story: interoperate!
