Cannibalizing Myself

I don't talk much about my job here.

This is because I want to keep my work blogging and my personal blogging as separate as I can.

Maybe that's one thing that keeps me off the blogger A-List. (Well, off the D-List, anyway.)

I'm not a very good self-promoter.

Anyway, maybe I should tie the two together more. It's not like I'm trying to hide; if you Google me, you'll find my work blog, my personal blog and some other stuff I've done.

Hrm, I just googled myself, and my work blog comes up before my other stuff.

This is a new development. Not sure when that happened.

Anyway, now that I'm doing more entries and trying to add a little more personality to my work blog, I find that I'm having to choose: If I find something interesting, do I want to put it in my work blog (where I have a lot more readers, but they're not as interested in stuff going on in the blogosphere), or do I put it here (where I have a couple of readers -- and that's being generous)?

Case in point -- on Sunday, I went to the PostSecret gallery exhibition in Georgetown. I took pictures and captured a few moments. It would make a good blog post, in either setting.

Where to publish it? I ended up posting it to my work blog, and I thought it came out pretty good.

PostSecret



I will have to keep thinking about this.
