Of soliloquies and syndication
Seems that LJ doesn't make it too easy to syndicate content from other sites. Oh well.
As such, I'm thinking about keeping all of my private posting over there due to its "friends" system. Perhaps mirroring my public posting both here and there. But whichever. Doesn't really matter. Soon enough, RSS feed aggregators should make reading 'blogs from their sites fairly obsolete. Why go directly to the site when you can view 15 different 'blogs at once in a single, unified interface? Plus, it gets rid of all the horrible stylesyeets some amateur web devs set up. Things like bright red text on a black background are not pleasant on my eyes.
Just about the only thing I really wish Blogger would add is some way to integrate it with iPhoto. Then, I'd move the vast majority of my content here. As it is, I'm thinking that I'm just going to get a year of Wheel from SpyMac and use their SpyDisk to store files and so forth. Then link to my galleries from here. Really, I'd like the ability to have a lot of offsite storage for my files. Of course I wouldn't be storing anything too sensitive there without some strong crypto, but for general use, it should be fine.
As an aside, I really hate generic product and service names. Just try searching for "Hello iPhoto" to find some program to integrate them. Or any other likely phrase ("Blogger iPhoto", "iPhoto Blogger script", &c.)
