Will Judi ever update her blog again?

FEBRUARY 14, 2015

It’s kinda sad when a blog looks abandoned, isn’t it? When I started blogging way back in January 2003, there weren’t a lot of other places where I could communicate and express myself publicly. And who knows, maybe I’ll pick up the blogging bug again some day. I will be forever grateful.

The difference between real time and blogs

Judi Sohn

JUNE 29, 2009

There’s been a bit of talk lately in the technosphere about the role of blogs in the new real-time web. Louis Gray has a wonderful post on the subject that reflects my own opinion, “Blogging Is Still the Foundation In A World of Streams.&#. I think there’s another benefit to a blog: it’s a mandatory time out.

I left Web Worker Daily in 2009 in no small part because I was bored out of my mind with the content I was producing/editing. Established social sharing model (blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, etc.): Robert Scoble doesn’t get it yet, as evidenced by his latest blog post: Why yo daddy won’t use Google+: no noise control.

A move to Posterous in 2010?

My efforts to revitalize my blog were hit & miss in 2009. It has been 7 years since I started blogging. My blog has always been my playground. Blogging is no exception. No matter how hard I tried to make it easier, blogging is still a chore. It’s easy to get content in. Not anymore.

My efforts to revitalize my blog were hit & miss in 2009. It has been 7 years since I started blogging. My blog has always been my playground. Blogging is no exception. No matter how hard I tried to make it easier, blogging is still a chore. I keep thinking back to Steve Rubel's adios to blogging last year.

When I first dropped my self-hosted blog and relocated it to Posterous last year after a bit of a hacking incident , I had trouble importing the old content. So as a quick fix I dropped it here, on WordPress.com , so as not to lose everything going back to 2003. I’m sure I missed a few here and there. I can live with that.

More troubling, the title of the blog was changed to a funky spam link. When we looked in phpMyAdmin, 6 years of blog content was gone. After the content was restored, I had to reset my.htaccess file and some Thesis settings. Tags: WordPress Blogging. I couldn’t log in to wp-admin. WordPress 2.3

Now that I’m blogging on judisohn.com as the domain, it’s time to tackle another problem. If I listened to conventional blogging wisdom, I’d only be blogging about Weight Watchers (my most popular posts by page views) or Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction ( my most popular post by comments).

Blogs are not dead. Blogs are still cool. People who blog are still cool. I use Feedly or Flipboard for reading, but keeping the content fresh was a challenge. Yeah, yeah, I know. RSS is dead. It was just that easy.

I can even send lessons to Posterous or other blogs, as explained in this post. I considered making a private Posterous or blog for the docs, but I think I'm going to stick to HTML where the template is easier to edit, and I can more easily organize content and embed in Salesforce.

After my old self-hosted WordPress blog hosted by MediaTemple was compromised over the weekend ( one of many )*, I exported the content (and removed the malicious injected link that started all the trouble) and redirected all traffic to judisohn.com and momathome.com to come here to my Posterous blog. Nice to have it all back.

Posterous is a good fit for me, and I love that I only focus on content and they do the rest. This morning I went to log in to my old WordPress blog for some reason I can't remember right now and saw this: Oh that's just grand. I have an up-to-date export of all the old blog's content which I've been trying to get imported.

None of the content is changing or moving, it’s just about changing what shows in the address bar. I’ve been energized about blogging again recently, so the timing is good. For the site, in WordPress I set the new domain as the blog’s address. It makes sense on many levels. I’m not ashamed of it.

Yes, you can get most if not all of the same content online or by reading blogs. For me, there’s still something about a magazine that blogs and random articles can’t replace, whether it’s on paper or not. The only time when I know we’re not in Kansas anymore is when a price is listed in Euros.

It started out strong with a rally cry for cloud computing, lots of back patting about how awesome the Salesforce.com platform is, and some nice product announcements that earned applause: Salesforce Content will be included in the basic apps (it’s currently at extra cost), much improved report GUI, and a peek at the new user interface.

As the subject line says, I want to focus in this blog post on Chatter. I find myself clicking between "Home" "Profile" "Chatter" and "Groups," all which look similar but have different content. I didn't get much out of yesterday's keynote. I'm very comfortable in these interfaces. But in Chatter I often find myself turned around.

Now, with Gmail/Google Apps or Yahoo and blogging services like WordPress.com or Blogger, it’s not uncommon for someone to be extremely active on the conversational web and not have a hosting account anywhere. Kindling are the feeds that contain the real content that you’re reading.
