Relocating a bit
I found very quickly that I like this whole blogging concept. Problem is, I've got a lot more things to “blog” about than .Net. My blog here @ Http://weblogs.asp.net/bdesmond is supposed to be .Net geared. I've been having an issue with keeping it that way. So, I've engineered a solution. I've installed dotText at Http://www.briandesmond.com/blog & copied my posts from here over to there (unfortunately the great comments had to stay here, though). I fully intend to keep the weblogs.asp.net blog, but I want to try and focus it as much as possible towards .Net. Consequentially, I won't have as many posts here, as I plan to over at briandesmond.com/blog. Over at briandesmond.com/blog, I plan to blog about whatever I feel like blogging about. The majority of it will be technically oriented, no doubt. To be more precise, items from my daily IT grind will show up there a lot. So, if you want to read about IT stuff (and I promise you, there will be useful things here) and other assorted odds & ends, subscribe. The URL to view online is Http://www.briandesmond.com/blog. Conversely, if you want to read about only dotnet, please don't subscribe. I will syndicate .Net items from here to briandesmond.com & vice versa.
I haven't exactly figured out what to do with the root briandesmond.com yet, but I eventually want to put up some sort of homepage for myself. I do a fair bit of consulting work, and I'm inclined to believe that a nice site with examples of what I do will help on the business front.
I'm also working on a widget to plug into the dotText code that will allow me to automatically syndicate posts which are marked for certain categories to URLs defined in those categories. I don't know how this will work, when I will do it, or if I will actually get around to it. I'm lazy, and this will save me posting things twice if I decide to post to the weblogs.asp.net space, so, I'll probably get around to this.
