Comments on: Why do you have more than one blog? http://ideasandthoughts.org/2006/12/11/why-do-you-have-more-than-one-blog/ As an educational technologist, I am exploring ways to make learning more relevant, engaging and authentic.

No reason to share this globally though it's not password protected so it really is global I guess. A friend and I do a podcast (Tech Chick Tips) with digital tips for digital educators. We have a blog on that site that would be considered a professional blog, but truthfully we're not about the blog so much as the podcast. The blog mostly seems to quote other blogs and then we share are own thoughts. I have more personal blogs than I can count. Okay, so I can count them. Personal weight loss journey, family site with gratuitous stories about my adorable children, another site that talks about my kids a lot but more in a sarcastic but real tone that my mother-in-law with NEVER see, a blog for everything else that doesn't fit anywhere else. And honestly, I think I'm forgetting one... Perhaps we should start Blogoholics Anonymous? I can start the blog for that...

I suppose I could keep this in Journler or some other application on my computer, but I am not always working on my own computer so I need a journal that is available to me regardless of what computer I'm on. The project also involves switching between Mac OS and Windows on my MacBook (via Boot Camp), so I'd like to be able keep notes regardless of which hemisphere of my outboard brain I am using at any given moment.

Two I use regularly: wordpress where I have my professional discussions and freewebs where my school information is kept. I then have others that I have opened along the way: bloglines, elgg, and blogspot. I'm trying to figure out which one works best for me. I really like the edublogs and my freewebs pages I've been using for a few years. My trouble is that I like features in all of them. Eventually, I'll have to just have two or three which will have to include a personal one for my own adventures outside education. Kelly Dean,
