I&#39;ve been thinking about the redesign of my business website, a change of name, solid <a href="http://designdyke.vox.com/library/post/whats-my-brand.html">personal branding</a> with the main content coming from the blog which will be on home page. I know you with blogger and others you can have your account directed to a different URL, I don&#39;t think I can do this with Vox so will probably settle on an RSS feed... or something... but then I need to run PHP so it returns search results to my site, not vox... and my host wants me to pay more for that. Rah! In short, I&#39;ve been thinking of leaving.<br />&#160;<br />I&#39;ve also been reconsidering the focus of my blog. Increasingly I want to write more about marketing communications, social media etc as my work and moves away from graphic design (not that it was ever &#39;fully&#39; about this) towards marketing. Having said that, I&#39;ll soon be blogging on my university staff blog, <a href="http://blogs.usyd.edu.au/templatedata">templatedata</a>. I&#39;m just waiting for IT to finalise access... I&#39;ve been waiting since December so it should only take another 6 months!! I&#39;m exaggerating... Anyhoo, I&#39;ll be doing that a bit over there but it will be focused on using these technologies within higher education. Here I want it to be more focused on the shiny shiny.<br />&#160;<br />Talking about the ladies will remain as I don&#39;t think I could help myself whatever my focus is supposed to be ;-)<br />&#160;<br />I&#39;m aware too that having too many topics on my blog I could lose focus... in fact, all this thinking about it over the last few months just led me to write about nothing at all.</p><p>Ah dunno, I guess at the end of the day, I&#39;m doing this for me and it shouldn&#39;t really matter all that much but still... any suggestions are welcome!</p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://designdyke.vox.com/library/post/design-dyke-20.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c225275aa7f21900e398e79b7b0004?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> marketing blogging blogs brand web 2.0 focus
