Moving Platforms

December 30, 2010 | Filed Under News | Leave a Comment 

In the interest saving money and cutting down on my maintenance time and just trying something new and possibly better, I’ve decided to change the way I organize RobGirard.net and its three sites: Rob’s Blog, Mr. Girard Online, and Team AZ Travel Journal.

I’ve already moved my photoblog to Posterous, a clean environment where I can revise the work I’ve done to include larger versions of the images I’ve posted. However, the site’s private and password-protected; I’ll make the password available to those interested. I’ll brand the site RobGirard.net eventually.

My classroom and teaching page is also moving to Posterous, but most of the activity will actually now take place at Schoology, a leaning-management system that mimics Facebook’s look and feel. I’ll fold my travel page into the Schoology site.

It’s been neat keeping this record, but maintaining it along with the others is taxing, so I hope this’ll free me up and turn what’s become an obligation back into an avocation. I only hope this means I won’t lose my first-ranked search status in Google, Bing, and Yahoo to RobGirard.com. I doubt it…

What?! Know I’m sayin’?!
