What have I been doing?
I haven't been posting much to my blog these days because I'm being kept busy by micro-blogging and typing in 140 characters or less.
The blog was my outlet for my day-to-day musings, gossips, info-sharing, complaints and bitchings. But ever since I got an account each on Tumblr, Plurk and Twitter, I did not have to do them on my blog anymore. I now share links, videos, photos on Tumbling jinnPod. I muse, complain and bitch at Twitter and Plurk. There's really no need to have a long blog post for these stuff anymore.
So follow me at these places:
Are you plurking too?
I first heard of Plurk from Scobleizer's tweet, but I didn't sign up because it looks more complicated than Twitter. But Twitter began having problems with their server load and keeps going down more often than I like. Then Cowboy Caleb plugged it too and he seemed like having fun with it. So I decided to check it out.
Well, one thing is for sure. It's definitely going to distract you from serious work. As much as I like its colourful and interactive interface, I'm not sure I'd prefer it to Twitter. Twitter is simple and straight-to-the-point, which is what I liked about it in the first place. So I'm not giving it up yet, but I really wish they would solve their downtime problems soon.
Meanwhile, go sign-up at Plurk and add me as friend! As you can see, I don't have many friends.
Another change to RSS Feed URL
After deliberating for a while, I decided to sign up for Feedburner because it gives me more control of my blog feeds. So my RSS feed URL is changed yet again. I'm sorry but please do update your feed aggregator and subscribe my blog with the new URL - http://feeds.feedburner.com/jinnpod. Thank you.
Now, if you have a blog and haven't looked at Feedburner, you are definitely missing something, like I have, until now.
To further amplify my laziness
I've been searching and scouring high and low for a plugin/widget to easily add RSS feeds, in particular my Tumblr feeds, into my blog as main posts. But the nearest thing I found was adding the feeds to a sidebar. I think it still could be done if I hack around some PHP files but the codes are as foreign to me as French is.
Hopefully I'll see a plugin soon from b2evolution.
