This post is slightly off topic from my usual content and I do have ulterior motives for making this post. If you have an account at entrecard and pay attention to their blog then you know what those motives are. If not it doesn’t matter.

I have been toying with the idea of starting another blog, especially now that I have finished up with school and will hopefully have more time on my hands. There are plenty of personal diary blogs out there and I do not particularly feel like sharing nor do I think any would be all that interested in my life. The additional blog would like relate to my work and possibly hobbies I am trying to develop. Most likely I would start with the work related themed blog since I have more experience and stories to write about. But just what would it cover? Well I am a Software QA Engineer. So it would deal with software quality, development, and testing. Rather boring for the average reader, but could prove very useful for me as it would provide a way for me to organize, collect, and vent on software testing methodologies, strategies, technologies, theories, and so on. Anyway, on the ulterior motive part.

Creating a second or more blog is rather trivial. Maintaining it just as trivial (granted more work, the work is not really any harder). The trick is advertising and keeping the advertising managed across all your blogs. Well them sharp fel’ers over at Entrecard have provide what looks to be a very promising means to handling this (at least managing your entrecard advertising). You can now link your different blogs to the same entrecard account, allowing you to switch “blogs” without having to logout, clear your cache, and log back in. It promises to manage the cache for you. But I do not have a second blog so I have not really tested this out yet. But if you have multiple blogs and belong to entrecard, I suggest you try it out.

In other un-related entrecard news, they have released the free entrecard official ebook. I have given it a quick read and it looks great for newbies. It provides some pretty straightforward steps to getting started, and a few more “advanced” features as well. Anyone already familiar with entrecard may not find it to be that useful. Although it does provide some brief tips on how to keep readers once you get them to your blog. It is not the world’s best book, although for now it is the world’s best book on entrecard.

Back to the original original topic of the post, dissociative identity disorder (DID). Before starting another blog I think I will have to take some time and brainstorm a few ideas, not just for general theme for the blog, but some initial content to see if I have enough material to actually start another blog or not. With that, I now return to the regularly scheduled content (at least if something crazy or odd happens that is worth writing about).
