It’s nearly time for some website redevelopment. The ten blogs I’ve set up under this domain are going to get combined, which means that various links will stop working. Half of those blogs were set up for experimental purposes, so their disappearance may not have any effect. The main three: Something I said, Bag and the annex are a slightly different story, and I am wondering how I might set up redirects for any trackbacks and incoming links.
I set these up in 2008 after my Drupal installation was attacked by spambots, and had intended to develop a multiblog covering 3-5 different areas of interest. The interim solution was to set up 4 separate blogs and see how they fared. I didn’t have the knowledge to set up one blog with multiple posting divisions. But that seems to have been addressed - in Wordpress at least - by multiblog adaptations like WPMU , WP Hive , Virtual Multiblog and Multiply . The idea is to have one interface, and one administrator account, but multiple ‘main’ sections, like a newspaper or magazine with internal divisions for News, Society, Science, and so on.
I believe that an easy alternative is to use posting categories, but this doesn’t produce a graphic layout like the one below.
So sometime this year - sooner or later - the existing sites will come down, then be replaced with something more manageable, more effective.
