A small change in the way these blogs operate

Short version of this post

 

I will occasionally be reblogging content from this marketing blog onto my other blog, thewikiman.org.

Longer version

 

I created this website and this blog to go along with the book, and as you know if you've read these pages before, it's all about marketing libraries. I also run another blog at thewikiman.org which I've had for years, and which, used to have a lot of content about marketing libraries on it (which is partly why I got asked to write the book in the first place).

When the book came out and I launched this site, I started blogging about marketing stuff on here, and in order not duplicate content, I stopped talking about marketing stuff on thewikiman. However, after thinking about it for a while and talking to people who read one or both of the blogs, I'll now be reblogging relevant content from the Toolkit blog on thewikiman blog. This for a number of reasons:
  • The content I'll be reblogging is relevant to both audiences
  • I blog far less these days anyway so splitting the posts between blogs makes them even scarcer...
  • I still sometimes hear this wikiman blog referred to on Twitter as 'one to follow for marketing' so there's an expectation that it'll have some marketing stuff!
  • The wikiman blog has been around for much longer so has a lot of subscribers, and gets a larger audience than this Toolkit blog; generally speaking I want as many people to read my posts as possible
So I'm going to start by reblogging the last couple of posts from here on to thewikiman, and then carry on as normal from there. It won't be that the blogs are identical - there'll be plenty of stuff on thewikiman about library issues generally which doesn't make it onto the here, and the odd obscure marketing post on the Toolkit blog that doesn't make it on to thewikiman.

I hope that's okay with everyone! :)

Cheers,

Ned
