Folks, based on guidance from IBM, they'd really like us to use the CSC website for blogging. So I've posted a whole bunch of entries there describing my experience over the last 2 weeks. It has been incredible and I have had so much to share. So it has taken a while to get it all written out and the photos downloaded from my camera...as well as discovering how to post photographs...
So please check out my IBM CSC blog at https://www-146.ibm.com/corporateservicecorps/blog/1371
Once the CSC trip is over, and if I get hooked on this blogging thing, I might continue to blog on this blog to stay in touch with everyone!

Rekha, it's a little bit extra effort, but you might also cross-post your blogging from the other site to this site (or another site).
ReplyDeleteI have the experience of managing blogs for my two eldest sons -- who spent two years in China -- and now have a record of their growing up over, that I hope to preserve as accessible to their children (and grandkids, if I live that long).
I have been an advocate of Wordpress and Wordpress.COM because it's open source and very popular. It's okay to just keep this Blogspot blog, though, because Google keeps the APIs open, and it's possible to back up and migrate the data (e.g. from Blogspot to Wordpress.COM).
On the CSC site, it isn't obvious that exporting data is possible. When/if that support stops, you may have entered months of blog posts that no longer exist. (As a person who comments and reads on blogs, comments such as this one will be lost to the world ... which disinclines me to leave comments!)
It should be straightforward to blog on the CSC site, and then copy-and-paste the comment over here. To be proper, you might add a link on the replica back to the original post to acknowledge that the content has been reposted.
On Blogspot (as with many other blog places, my comments get tracked on Cocomments.com. I note that I had to create a special userid to comment at the CSC site, and CoComment isn't supported on that blogging package.
Kinda makes sense that they would want it on the w3 site I guess... It's a shame though, because this Blogspot site seems pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI'll see you over on w3 then :-)
