Considering Changes To This Blog

Those that know me know this blog has been a bit of an experiment, an often neglected place for me to dump whatever caught my attention at the time.

It's given me a chance to learn drupal, the content management software that runs this blog, and an excellent piece of software for building a complete online businesses. It's been a great way of learning the framework to a standard package my business will be offering in the future; and ensuring that I understand how it works before outsourcing the work.

Yet its also a balance, while I've noticed a lot of people coming to this blog from google searching for pictures of Charles Lindbergh (famous aviator dude) after I wrote a post about him, in many ways I haven't written much about my personal life or my business.

The problem is that whatever I write here can be found by ANYONE, someone searching for would find my blog on google if I wasn't careful, and that's not good for business.

So its a fine line between writing what matters, and not putting off potential customers when a photo of me passed out, in the gutter dressed like.. well, some of you know which incident I'm referring to, and for those that don't; just comfortably move along now, and think of it only as a joke Eye-wink

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the whole purpose of my business is to control the information the potential customers to my clients are exposed to, engineering a companies image and enabling their customers to be 'taught to buy', so to offer consulting I need to do a good job of controlling the information I expose to the public myself.

And if you were wondering, when I write on this blog, its actually an image and completely invisible to google, so go ahead, search for ; you won't find this blog in the results.

The irony here is its much easier to control the flow of information here, in the open, than it is on facebook; which is the major reason I'm not yet the proud owner of a profile. Though I'm slowly warming up to the idea, I'll write up the specific reasoning why I'm so reluctant to get a face book profile soon. And I assure you its more than just lethargy.

As time allows will divide posts into different categories, adding a nice menu at the top that quickly enables you to only view what you want to see, so if economics isn't your thing, you won't see posts related to it and vice versa.
