One of the problems I’d had with this blog was ‘what does it say?’. By that I mean, I had tech articles I’d want to write, photo’s I’d love the world to see, and general discussion items that might be of interest. I’d never really considered keeping multiple blogs for separate content, I thought it was too much effort.
Re-visiting this now WordPress is at V3.3 i find not only is the level of integration with all the previous tools I’d used really slick, but my range of iDevices make everything easier than ever. The workflow to post & barriers to adding multiple content streams really have dissolved.
So, I’ve split my content.
I’m now split 3 ways! Although i really struggled to post anything significant for at least the last couple of years, this should help focus any work I do.

will contain all my personal musings, thought articles and anything that isn’t covered by my photo blog or my tech blog.

Is my new photostream blog. It will be devoted almost entirely to iPhoneography, since the best camera is the one you have with you. Apparently. Until I’ve got lots of good iPhone only photos, I’ll post some DSLR images too.
and finally,
http://tech.runtothehills.org
will contain any tech stuff I end up regurgitating. Thinking about tech blogging, there’s not much to say when you’re not at the bleeding edge especially when you no longer need to post technical articles for the ‘look at me, I’m techy, employ me’ treadmill. That’s not to say I don’t need to prove that, just less so when you have a good contract track record. However, i still love tech writing so there will be the odd bit of content that i thought might be useful or exposing something that tripped me up.
So, there we have it. 3 blogs instead of one. I really should be 3 times as many posts with a 1/3 of the work this time round.
