How do I do this?
TypePad, Website 07/08/2003 |Okay, so I’ve got this new toy to play with, and I do need to make sure to play with it. I just need to figure out how to play with it.
Possible options:
- Duplicate my posts: Copy and paste so that what I’m posting here also shows up on The Long Letter, and vice versa.
- Keep both blogs active: Put some posts over here, and some posts over there. But which ones where?
- Move over here: Put The Long Letter on hiatus for a bit, and just use this as my primary blog.
There’s pros and cons to each of the options, of course. Hmmmm…

How to proceed from here
I’m working on figuring out the pros and cons to various ways of approaching the fact that I’ve now got a secondary weblog that I need to keep active as well as having this weblog that’s been active for a good few years now at its current address.

For what my opinion is worth, I think I like this site better, as far as running them both, this might offer a better sense of stability? Just a thought

First question — why do you like this site better? Are we talking design? Features like the book and music listings? Speed and responsiveness?
Stability is definitely something to think about, admittedly. While I do my best to keep my server up as much as possible, there are always issues popping up that can cause problems.
In any case, it’s been less than 24 hours since I started playing with this, and I’m sure there’s still a lot to discover.

I’m trying to figure out the same thing for my new toy.

I was going to just duplicate, but I’ve already fallen behind.

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

Oh, by the way…
For the record, though, I’ve decided to put The Long Letter on hold for the duration of the TypePad beta, to give me the most possible opportunities to participate in the collective tire-kicking here.
