A Minor Tumblr Success – Thoughts

12/31/2012 Leave a comment

Vacation followed by the holidays is a great way to fall behind on your blogs and writing.

I thought about doing Nanowrimo. How much did I end up writing in November? About one day’s worth of words.

Just posted this on Tumblr, and it was suddenly a hit. Lots of people noticing it, liking, reblogging. Well, “lots” being more than one. So, what do we learn? Read more of this post

More Thoughts on Twitter

09/11/2012 3 Comments

So I have been on Twitter a bit now, and there is some great community-building that happens. I have self-listed as a writer, and have started getting some writers and writing groups following me. This is awesome. This is stuff I would like to check out and keep up with.

However, how do you keep up with things on Twitter? Follow a few folks, and suddenly you’re drowning in posts! I have a few actors, not so interesting sometimes; a few comedy ones, which I could take or leave; a few blogs, which I really probably don’t need because I go to their sites; a few celebrities who seem to talk to each other so it’s a bit amusing; and then the writers who might be saying something I should pay attention to.

Phew!

How do people keep up with Twitter? Multiple accounts depending on what you want to read about? Skip blindly over things? Constantly sitting and reading what people are writing?

How do you interact with Twitter? Did you try and give up? What are your thoughts, oh reader?

More Changes I Plan On

09/07/2012 Leave a comment

So, if I am going with my initials as my identity on the blog, I think it needs more of a personal touch. Also, as I begin thinking about splitting my content, an identity forms here. Splitting between a Tumblr, with mainly writing and thoughts and such about writing… a WordPress here, which will be about writing, and geekery, and my thoughts… and my wife is working on starting a blog, and I will be contributing.

But more on that later. Read more of this post

Merging My Two Blogs

09/03/2012 3 Comments

I have been thinking about trying to combine my current blog here, with my first blog I made for an earlier class. My biggest issue? I want my domain name back: dbcii.wordpress.com!

I found some answers:

http://thebacklight.com/merge-combine-multiple-wordpress-blogs/

So now I have to figure it out. If I merge this blog onto the one with the domain I want, I can get the domain, but I lose the settings and things I have set up here. I can set up the WordPress redirect to get people there from here…

Or… I could merge the other onto this blog… but then, the domain?

Or… I could delete the other… create a new one… set up some settings… transfer over…

So things have to be easier than that. Finally, I found this and I think I see what needs to happen. Export the old blog… import it here… delete the old blog… change the blog address here.

I think it’s time to do so – reclaim my brand, so to speak. Since it’s my initials. And I’m using it on Tumblr. And Twitter. And Facebook.

Need Your Help

08/26/2012 1 Comment

Hi all,

I am reminded of the things I have learned so far about blogging and community. I have a bit of one here. I just started a Tumblr – and have none there. Like, literally none.

But what do I do? I go and ask a question. Which no one has answered. And which I actually kind of would like other peoples’ thoughts on.

I shared on Facebook, no answer. I shared on Twitter, no answer.

Maybe no one has an answer. That’s fair. Or really scary, actually.

But I thought I would ask here.

The short version of the question? What would science fiction written by the presidential candidates – or their parties – look like? In other worlds, what is the future world that they are hoping to build?

See the full version, and feel free to answer with your thoughts, here. Or leave a comment below.
