So, I currently write regularly for two blogs, this one and the postgreen blog. I also intermittently post at Howie’s backup blog. Right now, the process of visiting the WordPress admin for each blog to post is not that much of a hassle. However, I am planning another couple projects that could expand my blogging responsibilities and visiting each seperate site could get tedious. So, I need some help/advice/ridicule.

Does anyone know of a tool that would allow me to write, edit and post to each of my blogs from one location? Basically, I am hoping for a blog composition tool with a drop down menu that would allow me to send my post to the appropriate site.

My posting has been pretty poor the last few days because I am down in Las Vegas for Interop. The show so far has been interesting and provided plenty of fodder for future blog posts. I have also managed to glean a little tech news that I’ll share as soon as I can.

 Unfortunately, duty calls and I can’t afford the time for any of it right now. Need to take a client out and try to avoid creating anything that needs to stay in Vegas.

So, it appears I will have to move forward without the benefit of my old posts for now. While I have them all in a handy text file right here in front of me, I cannot find an easy way to get them into this WordPress database. In the words of one of my favorite authors (a shout out to whoever can guess his name in the comments), “So it goes.”

In a way this clean slate may be kind of entertaining, and if one day I don’t have much to say I can simply post an old favorite that has been lost in this tragic transition. I will keep working to reinstate the old posts, but I’m going to stop letting my failures keep me from writing.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more . . .

Do you have something to say to me that the comments just won’t hold? Do you want to connect on a deeper electronic level? Or, maybe you just want to spam me in a larger variety of ways?

Try email at nicdarling@gmail.com or IM me at the same address.

You could also visit my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter.

Update: This was supposed to be the text for my contact page. I’m still getting used to WordPress I guess. Well, I’ll call it a happy mistake and leave the info here as well for those of you whose feed reading makes actually blog visits unnecessary.

In addition to the myriad other complications that my half-baked, blog-change scheme has spawned, it seems there is a problem with my feed. If anyone actually gets this post via RSS, I would love to hear about it. Either drop me a comment below or send a quick email.

Thanks for the help.

So I finally switched to WordPress . . . well, almost. We are only about halfway through the process and, as you can see, the past posts are still absent. Hopefully, recovering them from the XML file in which they languish will not be as difficult as it currently seems.

You will also notice that the design is still a bit rough, but it will be changing significantly, so stay tuned. More importantly you will notice that the comments are back on and easier to use. Drop me a line. Tell me what you think.

Well, I’m going to get back to the template repairs, but expect plenty of posts in the coming weeks.
