Spreading the Load
Posted: Thu 29 November, 2007 | Author: Lyle | Filed under: Own Business, Work-related, Writing |3 Comments »Back at the start of the month, I was thinking about whether I should have another writing area, this time on the website for my business. At the time, I kind of ended up deciding not to.
Only I’ve been thinking about it since then, and well, I’ve changed my mind. So as well as D4D™ and the semi-regularly updated one on my photography site, there’s also now a blog-type thing on my business site. Yeah, talk about making a rod for my own back.
Thing is, they’re actually all very different – and it does make sense to be doing it this way. D4D™ was always meant as more of a place to vent, and that’s fallen a bit by the wayside of late. The photography one is more related to that side of things. And the business one isn’t actually going to be a blog at all- at least in the context of “daily/weekly updating, area to dump one’s brain”. Instead it’s a place where I can put larger pieces (well, that’s the aim) so maybe once or twice a month, but still using WordPress to do the deed.
Anyway, I’m going to see how it goes – it should help with spreading the load a bit, if nothing else. And of course if they don’t work out, I can just delete them from the site. But it’ll take some time before I decide to do that, most probably.
Are you going to put up a link to these 2 sites.
I would really like to look through your photography
Chris, If you look in the “photography” section of the links over on the right, you *might* then find something of interest on the link one up from the bottom, beginning with “O” that doesn’t end in “.us” . 🙂
But no, in general I won’t be cross-linking from D4D™ to my other stuff, as I don’t really want to establish that link at all, bearing in mind that I’ve been rude about previous clients etc., and don’t want prospective clients googling for Yours Truly to stumble across D4D™ at the same time, again for obvious reasons.
Set yourself a schedule for the other blog, I think a few posts a month is about right. I had hoped to post to my other blog more often but it’s just too time-consuming (although, admittedly, at present Dilbert is helping me out…).
I aim for 2 posts a week to my “pro” site, and… whatever in my personal blog.
