Making a lot of behind-the-scenes updates in anticipation of Micro.Blog. Expect to see a lot more 280-character micro posts here on my blog.
Site Update: And Then There Were Two
Last year, I decided to merge my multiple blogs into one. But really, what I had was two versions of this site: the personal version, melmyfinger.com, and the "professional" version, meltajon.com.
My personal posts are only published on melmyfinger, which is hidden from search engines and potential clients/employers. My professional posts have been published on both sites, but only meltajon is visible to search engines.
This turned out to be confusing because friends would share my professional posts by linking to melmyfinger instead of meltajon.
So today, I'm simplifying it — no more cross-posting. All posts will be published on one site or the other.
If you're using an RSS newsreader, feel free to follow all of my posts or only posts from specific categories:
melmyfinger.com
- http://feed.melmyfinger.com — all categories

One Blog
Hey guys,
After owning multiple blogs across different sites for over a decade, I've decided to merge my blogs into one. Why? Because I suck at maintaining blogs. So, as much as possible, I wanted to simplify my blogging for those spurts when I actually do feel like posting.
So now, instead of spreading myself thin over different Wordpress blogs, I have one blog, covering totally different topics that I care about. You'll be able to explore each individual topic at the bottom of the site. I've always loved the way Pinterest lets you follow peoples' interests, not just the person, so I've designed my blog to work the same way. Each category even has its own RSS feed.
I do have a secret I should mention:
A lot of posts and categories on here are unlisted, hidden away from search engines and friendly neighborhood stalkers like you. But if you follow me on the right social networks, you'll occasionally find me linking to hidden parts of this site.
As always, my site is a work-in-progress. Specifically, I'm still in the middle of migrating blog posts onto here and fixing issues like broken images in the process.
I've been maintaining this blog, in one form or another, for 15 years now. I've always loved the idea of documenting my thoughts for myself just so I can watch myself grow over the years. Thank you for following along and being a part of my journey.

Quick Update: Spent a night redesigning my blog and decided to play around with the whole "Flat UI" design trend going on right now. I'm diggin' it! But I broke my RSS feed in the process, lol. I'll fix it later.
