Summary:
I'm going to start cross-posting all (or most?) of my posts between my wordpress blog (http://alexbobp.homelinux.net/wordpress) and my new Club Ubuntu blog (http://club-ubuntu.org/blog/22).
.
For people finding this on the Club Ubuntu website:
I also have a blog which I host on my own webserver using wordpress, at http://alexbobp.homelinux.net/wordpress.
.
For people reading at my site:
Club Ubuntu (##club-ubuntu on irc.freenode.net, drop by!) is an IRC channel community that is very near and dear to my heart. This is because of the people in it, not because of the name (so no I'm not endorsing Ubuntu). It's not even an official Ubuntu channel. I don't even know why it's still called "Club Ubuntu"... but I digress. It's a great channel.
It recently got itself a website, http://club-ubuntu.org, which is powered by Drupal which includes blogging functionality for channel members.
.
Regarding posts:
I'm certainly not going to let my blog's already sparse content suffer, but I wanted to participate in this, so I decided the best course of action was to cross-post (post the same things to both blogs).
Any post tagged as crosspost (see "Regarding tags") can also be found on the other blog.
.
Regarding comments:
Please leave comments on my own webserver (http://alexbobp.homelinux.net/wordpress). I want the comments all in one place, not split. I will disable comments on crossposts on the drupal blog as soon as I figure out how. In the meantime, I will delete comments left on a post tagged "nocomment".
.
Regarding tags:
Crossposted posts will be tagged as "crosspost" on both blogs.
Posts I don't want comments on will be tagged as "nocomment", for the drupal blog only.
Posts regarding Club Ubuntu will be tagged "Club Ubuntu" on both blogs.
Other than this, I will try to keep tags synchronized between the two blogs. Of course, I can't control what other posters use any given tag on the Club Ubuntu site.
.
Regarding post content:
Frankly, wordpress is far superior to drupal in terms of features available to me. If a post contains anything complicated (images? embeds? formatting? I don't know what will cause issues), and the two posts look different, then you can assume that the wordpress one is the look I intended for the post, and the drupal one is my best approximation with what's available.
If for any reason I feel the need to include different content on either side of the crosspost, then the wordpress side will include all content and the drupal side will be a subset. This is because there should be no feeling that people who subscribe only my existing blog are missing something. If you read my wordpress blog and don't care about the affairs of Club Ubuntu, then simply skip posts tagged "Club Ubuntu".
