As I continue to split the two sites, I’ll be converting mikesoh.com to using WordPress. I’ve found Geeklog (my current blog software) to be a bit cumbersome as I’ve upgraded and personalized each page.
I’m hoping by the end of this month, mikesoh.com will hold political articles and linuslive.com will hold my personal blog.
Please stay tune
I have successfully migrated/mirrored mikesoh.com to linuslive.com!
In the next few weeks, the two sites will look exactly similar…with the exception of the site name of course. The articles will even be the same. But I’m hoping by the end of July, the seperation will be complete and mikesoh.com will host my political and editorial blogs.
So why did I decided to seperate the two? I didn’t want to confuse the message of Christ.
Many people in fact read my blog (even though they don’t leave comments, HINT HINT). As I’ve gotten more active politically, I’m finding it important to seperate my political articles from my spiritual articles because they both have unique tones and focuses. This is not to suggest that my political views aren’t shaped by my beliefs. On the contrary, I have my political views BECAUSE of my beliefs.
The focus of linuslive.com is to be more personal and reflective, verses challenging and confronting. I felt that those voices are best heard under different venues.
Take the time now to update your bookmarks. If you enjoy reading my personal thoughts and my bi-weekly Christian essays (crosswords), please bookmark linuslive.com. If you want to read my political editorials and essays, continue to visit mikesoh.com. Or, if you want both, visit both!
Well, some of you know me as Mike. Some of you know me as Linus. Right now, there’s only one site: mikesoh.com
After much confusion, I’ve decided to split two sections of my site:
mikesoh.com will contain my political and editorial blogs. My new site (website URL TBD) will host my personal blog entries, crossword articles, and pictures. Both sites will run announcements. The two sites will be incredibly different. For one, mikesoh.com will probably run on blogger software instead of geeklog.
I’m hoping to make this change around June-July. I’ve got to sift through a lot of articles. I actually passed the 100 point! Until the site is set up, please keep visiting mikesoh.com for everything!
The site looks like it did before! Feel free to look around. If something stops working, let me know.
You may noticed a starking difference on my web site. Yes, I’m the process of upgrading my site…several weeks late.
Don’t fret! I’m hoping to have everything finished today.
This is a global e-mail announcement.
As a result of getting so much spam a day (over 300 in fact), I will no longer be sorting through my spam folder. Any e-mails that get flagged as spam will now be automatically deleted without warning. While this may affect a minority of people that send me e-mail, I feel that the number of spam I receive and the havoc that it creates on my server outweighs the one or two e-mails that sometimes end up in my spam folder as a false positive.
You may fall into the category of affective people if you e-mail from yahoo.com, hotmail.com, or other popular web-based e-mails (gmail, for now, seems unaffected). If you are e-mailing me from one of these providers, you may prepend your subjects with "[NOT SPAM]".
If you get a reply, it means that I’ve added you to my whitelist and will no longer have to prepend your messages.
Sorry for the inconvenience folks.
I’ll be updating the site this Thursday so parts of the site will be down.
Things should be up and running by Friday.
I’ve opened up comments on this blog entry. I’m wondering how many people would be interested if I opened up comments on my blog.
I initially turned them off by default because there was no way to screen them. However, I think the at this point, I’d like to give people a chance to respond. The rules would be the same as my livejournal blog:
Let me know what you guys think
Attention RSS Feed Aggirators
You may be wondering why my feeds are sometimes really weird. They are often marked up like [http://www.amazon.com/|this] and you probably find that really annoying.
Well, it’s because I’ve implemented a wiki-based blog system to make my blog entries easier and faster. I’m working to see if I can get the RSS feed to show you an HTML converted version but I’m having some difficulty.
Remember, you can see the page correctly formatted on http://www.mikesoh.com. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail me.
