So Many Blogs...

So here is another attempt at trying to stay active in writing a post.  A major problem that I have is that I have several different blogs, including the new Tumblr blog that I have, two old LJ blogs, and now two blogspot blogs.  "Where do I post?" becomes a frequent question, and lately the answer has been Tumblr, then the old LJ.  I don't like having so many different places to post.  There are different advantages to all of them.

LiveJournal
This is my oldest journal, and thus the one I feel the most loyalty to.  It uses a penname that, aside from the LJ, I haven't used in many years - holy crap, probably a decade.  Or almost a decade.  So I had decided a few months ago that I was done posting, but I do have a few friends who still use LJ so I went back on that decision recently.  It's really hard to step away from this blog, even though it's an old penname that I don't use.  I've thought about merging my two LJ accounts (I don't even know if this is possible, for all I know it's not).  Even if it was possible, I still am not sure if it's something I would want to do.

Xanga
Second oldest journal, I got this because back in high school everyone had one.  People actually posted back then, so it was the most worth while one to have.  And then in college everyone just dropped off the face of the earth internet and so it became pointless, and I was never really into the Xanga brand anyways.  So this one is pretty much done with.  The thing is that I am not a huge fan of the Xanga community set up/layout.  I used to log in now and then just to read the featured posts on the main site, but after a month I noticed that it was the same topics constantly recycled, so I stopped with that.

Blogspot
Obviously I haven't been posting in this very frequently and the reasons for that have (most recently) been A) hardly ever logging onto the internet ever -- I have a smart phone now so I check things on that, don't usually feel the urge to post from it, although I should see about starting to do that I suppose; and B) I started postingon Tumblr and Twitter, which are both more conducive for short quick posts.  The advantage to blogspot over Tumblr is that you really can do much more with a post, you just have more control over the look of the post, inserting images and doing divs and whatnot, which you just can't get with Tumblr (and this has been pretty frustrating).

Tumblr
Advantage to Tumblr is that it's easy to share other content, especially other multimedia content like videos and images.  The disadvantage is that you get hardly any control whatsover over the presentation of an actual post.  I am more of a text person anyway, so really I just ought to start blogging more.

I'm trying to juggle each of these different platforms and see what happens and how I decide to divide (what little) content I have.  I don't want to post the same thing on every blog, as I hear that's a duplicate content issue, otherwise I would look into that.  For example, my posts on Tumblr automatically update my Twitter.  Which is fine because Twitter just makes it a link.

Anyways that is my random post for today.
