Getting This Blog Organized

I love being able to put my posts in categories. I really think they will be useful to my site’s visitors. After all, everyone has their own interests, and some of my ramblings won’t be interesting to certain people. I haven’t categorized all my posts, half at the most, because the posts over one year old Blogger switched to just a random number for a title. To categorize them I would also want to retitle them. I probably ought to take the time, but I don’t really feel like it right now. It’s been a long day and I’m tired!

Coming up with the categories I want to have was a bit tricky, but I think I have it now. Adding categories is very easy, as is changing their names if I find that the original name just doesn’t work for me after all.

Actually, categorizing my old posts was interesting, just because I got to see what I have done over the past year. It’s been quite a year, after all. I’ve gone through a lot and made progress in a lot of areas. My son went through a major medical procedure and three months of helmet therapy, and is doing wonderfully. Just looking back and remembering how I felt at all those times is really amazing.

The Add to My Yahoo link seems to be working now. Apparently it was a fault on My Yahoo’s side of things, and lots of people had trouble with it. Glad it wasn’t just me. The function still seems a little bit tempermental, but if you try it again, the second time it seems to work fine.

Added a section on time management

Since it was a pretty popular request on one of my polls, I’ve added a section on time management. You can see it in the main navigation to the left. I’ll be adding to it for a while, but it does take time to develop a good amount of content. Still, there should be enough to help you get some ideas on how to get started.

I’m still trying to figure out why the feed for this blog won’t work for My Yahoo or My MSN. I really do prefer Wordpress, so I’d hate to have to go back… matter of fact I’m fighting that notion pretty hard. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve to find the problem. Hopefully I can do it.

Once I have that done, I’ll be trying to figure out some good categories. May as well take advantage of that feature.

I did it!

I got this blog migrated over to WordPress successfully, so far as I can tell. I like the interface much better.

Now I just have to figure out how to categorize at least some of my old posts, as well as what categories I’d like to work with. But it’s late now and I think it’s probably time to head for bed.

For those who want to subscribe to the feed, just look over to the right and you should be able to subscribe, but for some reason the My Yahoo one isn’t working. Haven’t tried the others yet. I can see the feed when I look for it, so I don’t know what the problem is.

I think I’ll probably migrate this blog to WordPress

I think it’s about time I upgrade this blod to WordPress. I’ve been using Blogger, which is pretty good, but I used WordPress for my new unresearched work at home jobs section, and it is far superior. I knew that before, just from reading, but this was the first time I experienced it.

This isn’t that easy a decision. It means all my posts may get moved, and everyone subscribing to the Atom feed is going to have to resubscribe to the new feed. But for the improved useability I think it will be well worth it.

The move may take a couple days as I get everything figured out. Nice part is that I can easily do a test run using everything from the blog I’ve already done with it, then once I know it works do the move.
