Belshaw's other recent blog posts

Usually I do a regular update here on my posts on my other blogs so that people can follow up is interested. This dropped away during my computer problems, as indeed did posting itself. To resume, a list of posts since the start of July follows:

• Craig Wilson & innovative newcastle
• Stockton Public School 150 year celebrations
• Maris Cash's obituary
• NT joins New England with state anthem
• Belshaw's World - this short story thing not as easy as it looks
• New England unis & the university games
• Memories from a Glenreagh past
• Round the New England blogging traps 24 - land, mining & the environment
• Robert Madgwick and adult education
• More on Aboriginal midwife May Yarrowyk
• Allen & Overy's profit conundrum

The post on May Yarrowyk (or should that be Yarrowick?) is an example of one of the things I most love about blogging, the way in which past posts generate new posts because people send me more information.

May is an interesting person because she was a fully qualified nurse and a member of the Australasian Trained Nurses Association who apparently trained during the 1890s. This makes her an early example of an Aboriginal person gaining a full qualification.

The Allen & Overy post is an example of a presently somewhat rare professional post.     

Recent Belshaw blog posts as at 25 April 2008

This post records posts on my various blogs since April 1 2008.

Since my last post in this series I have continued mulling over the structure of my blogs, taking into account my difficulties in maintaining regular posting. Since then I think that Neil has changed his blog structure at least two times!

I think that I know what I want to do. But I am going to spend this weekend catching up on back posts before coming to a decision.

Turning to my recent posts, it remains the case yet once again that if you look will see that some of the dates are much earlier. All posts have in fact been brought on-line since. I am continuing to catch up. The most recent post is first, working through to the oldest post.

Recent Belshaw blog posts as at 1 April 2008

This post records posts on my various blogs since March 25.

Before providing the list, I am slowly coming to view that I should trial Neil's Gateway approach. I am also thinking that I might combine it with a "sans words" approach, again pinching from Neil but with a dash of Gordon Smith.

I really don't want to create another blog. I really don't want to create another blog! But I can see some advantages if I keep it very sparse, limited and focused.

I have a number of blogs targeting different interests. I have a very limited number of readers interested in more than one.

My feeling is that posts such as this should really go on a central blog for those who are interested in the range of my writing. A blog that is nothing but a list of posts on other blogs can be very boring. So, for interest, I thought that I might follow each list with a few line photo essay.

If I limit it to two posts a week then those who have a broader interest can check it each week or so. Does this make sense?

Turning to my recent posts, it remains the case that if you look will see if you look see that some of the dates are much earlier. All posts have in fact been brought on-line since. I am continuing to catch up. The most recent post is first, working through to the oldest post.
