Back in the olden days of blogging, there were personal blogs, where the topics often varied a bit based on the interests of the author. That’s how Another Blogger started. Over time, posts here became less frequent and my energies became devoted to mostly-informational content elsewhere on sites such as Social Photo Talk or Picture Pundit. It’s hard to articulate why I’m dissatisfied with the angle of those sites but they’re note the content I want to produce going forward.

In the past six months or so I’ve noticed a shift in the content I’m reading. I’m spending less time reading informationally-focused sites and more time following the sites which are more personal and reflect the lives of interesting people. I’d rather hear the personal take on a particular subject than an article aimed at being as objective and neutral as possible. I’ve gotten to know these bloggers via their writing. The combination of information along with the personal aspects of their lives is interesting. Instead of reading a dense set of information on one topic I receive an individual’s take on a few different topics.

The personal relationships are more valuable than the information.

Hence a shift in my own blogging habits. This site has been rethemed to focus on the various facets of my life. I’ll continue to write about my photo business over at Hockley Photography but I expect more frequent articles here that will mix up a few topics of interest. Expect to see:

• tech/blogging/social media
• photography
• Mac-based productivity (OmniFocus, TextExpander, etc)
• perhaps even some parenting-related observations
• community & event management

In addition to longer-form articles, I’ll be posting the occasional link roundup. I run into lots of interesting things and I’d like to share them. This site is about five years old; here’s to another five years of content that hopefully makes the internet more useful for someone.
