Cleaning House
Aug. 7th, 2011 12:57 pmI decided yesterday to get rid of a few internet things that I don't or rarely use, and might do a few more things today, just to clean house. I got rid of two LJ things yesterday: my political LJ ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mpthandbasket is gone, considering I haven't posted there in two years, and my good-idea-but-misguided Walk in Silence community was taken down. It's just not what I need to be doing right now. I also may pull myself out of a few other LJ communities I'm in that I no longer visit.
I also need to change some passwords, come to think of it...
The point being, I'm not about to leave LJ, but I think I'll be changing what I post on it, at least this particular one. I've pretty much forced myself not to post any whinging that I may have posted in the past (the work variety and otherwise), partially because I feel it's run its course. It seems to me that a lot of bloggers I follow are posting less about personal mundanities (is that a word?) (looks up on m-w.com...yes! it certainly is!) and more about things with a bit of content to them. I may have posted some bizarre avant-garde films yesterday, but that kind of proves the point of Rockin' the Suburbs here...this blog might have started out as one to vent and kvetch, but it's turned more and more into a media thing, and more focused on my writing and musical interests. I think from here on in, this blog will continue in that vein. I may, of course, post some personal things here, but those will remain friends-locked. I'd just like this to be a more reader-friendly blog and less of a complaintfest.
My plan is basically to organize all the blogs into separate entities, as was originally planned. The writing-only LJ will stay as is, and I'll keep the once-a-week schedule (with room for additional posts, of course, as time and stuff allows). I may mention writing over here on this blog now and again, but it'll be surface stuff--it's the long-winded writing-focused stuff that will end up over there. The Dreamwidth blog will stay as is as well, containing basically my poetry. The Tumblr blog will remain pictures and art only.
I'm thinking, though, with all the different places I'm posting stuff, I should probably create an aggregator that I can post every week or so for updates, just so everyone sees everything at once instead of going all over creation.ying_ko_4, I know you use one, any suggestions?
All that said...it's another Sunday, shopping is done, brunch is eaten, coffee is ingested. Time to get some serious work done. :)
