Simon, in answer to your question about linking my blog to yours, all I meant was that I had made a comment in your blog whilst logged in to wordpress, rather than with my artificialkid tag. This means that when somebody now clicks on my name in that comment, it brings them here to my blog. Likewise, you weren’t signed into wordpress when you left hyour comment on my last post and so, when people click on your name, it will take them to whichever website you put in when you left the comment, ie your photography home page.
I also have another blog over at blogger ( martincoles.blogspot.com/ ) which is the home of my studio blog. I started this on the premise that for every day in 2008 I was going to paint a canvas and sell it online. This, however, never took off as my workload became too great for me to be able to take the time out to do this, unfortunately.
I then forgot the password details and stumbled across wordpress which, to me, has a much better interface and is more intuitive than blogger. So I signed up here with this blog but even this has taken a back seat as work and real life have become overloaded.
So, since I have remember my blogger details, I am now blogging in two places, ostensibly about the same things in each….what should I do? Ditch one and continue in the other or keep both going and blog about different things?
In theory I could blog in one and create a link in the other…or setup my twitter so that I blog in wordpress, which updates twitter, which then sends a message to blogger…oh and facebook too 
In this world of the ‘paperless’ office I seem to be filling it up digitally instead and creating much more of a mess!
On top of all this, I have a project in mind that I would like to start blogging about and think that perhaps I should keep it separate from all of the above, to avoid confusion and mixing my personal life with a business venture. I, of course, will tell you all in here about it when it launches, but of course I shall not point from ‘there’ to ‘here’.
the dark star is coming…
Well you’ve confused me already!!
Right, so Im following this one am i?
Hehe sorry Simon! Yes Julie, this will be the one to follow…I think I may kick the Blogger blog to touch…
don’t blame you Arti, loving the setup on wordpress much more!
Morning Martin, I’ve had a peek at your portfolio and it appears I’m indebted to you forever! You are/were the creator of my sanctuary from corporate madness – the Great Court at the British Museum. Before moving to Spain, I worked in Holborn and would often head to the white circular haven and sit in its calmness – even when it was jammed to the gills with tourists and parties of school kids, it retained a ‘peacefulness.’ I love that place. Thank you.
Hi there Kerry! Glad you’ve made it over here too!
The Great Court was a fantastic project to work on. The company I worked for at the time was involved with the design of the shops and their fit-out. The actual court itself (along with its stunning glass roof) was designed by a team of architects with Norman Foster at the helm.
I’m glad you used to enjoy it, it is a stunning space to just sit in and watch the world go buy!
