Let's toss this one into the "Headlines that make you say, 'Hmm...' category:

Secondary Blogging

Since beginning my beta test of TypePad this week, I'm not the only one faced with the question/challenge of maintaining two blogs. As I've begun to poke around the blogs of some other TyepPad beta testers, I've seen this question handled a number of ways...keep them separate...switch over to TyepPad exclusively...import all MT postings into TyepPad...or, like me, still post primarily in my main blog and occasionally here...why? Because I'm a bit neurotic when it comes to losing data -- especially stuff I write. Not that I think six apart or TypePad are suddenly going to go away, but I'm a bit cautious about not having any of my posts on my own server for which I pay...of course I'll have the option to pay for TypePad at some point following the beta, but what if I decide not to subscribe to TypePad? What happens to this beta blog then? And how long would I have to get all my posts out before they disappear?

Hot Days

Another hot day here in Marin. I ran some errands at lunchtime...sunshade for car, CD with wedding song on it, canned dog food. Tonight is Bay Area Wealth Builders meeting here in San Rafael.

Latest Post

This is another email post...sending from my work address...here's the latest entry over at my main blog:

Phone to Ofoto

I love it.

Direct from phone

Awesome.

(I'm editing this post in my browser -- and am resizing the photo -- but I emailed this photo directly from my new Nokia 3650 camera phone right to the blog!)

Email Blog Post

In my continuing test of the cool TypePad features, I'm typing this post in an email and am sending it directly to my TypePad blog. I love this concept - described as "Moblogging" (along with posting via cell phone). And later today, when I pick up my new cell phone, I'll be able to test posting from there, too.

Rock on.

A few Vegas photos in TypePad.

TypePad Beta

Woohoo! This is my first post as a tester in round two of the TypePad beta. So far, so good.

Back from New York...tired. I'm just a testing machine this week...Monday I pick up my new Nokia 3650 camera cell phone as part of a focus group in which I'll be participating for the next 6 months (free phone & service!).

All that and a wedding in less than 3 weeks, too.
