This becomes the paradigm of blogging in general – and I’ve pondered this thanks to a comment Andrea Hill left me the other day.
Why do you blog?
I maintain a few (I have a Livejournal, too!) and I determine what I want to put where, and why that blog exists. I determine what vibe I want the blog to portray. I originally kept a very rigid divide between anything I ever wrote – I wanted it to be anonymous, I wanted to be untouchable. Now I write for a few blogs (some more than others).
This blog is mine – it’s all about me, and I use it as an outward facing blog so I can write about my successes and failures, my writing, my thoughts, and whatever I think is amusing. I use it as an excuse to write about what I’ve learned, code I’m learning/playing with.
On another blog, I may focus on a niche topic. Something that is introspective, or a topic I want to learn more about (and share what I’ve learned, still).
It’s a matter of personal freedom to stand behind what I write
and if I’m wrong – so be it, lesson learned. But you can’t be proven wrong unless you put it out there.
