Daniel Johnson, Jr.

Rather than try to shove a boatload of information onto a tiny piece of cardboard and paper, I’m taking a feather out of Christopher Penn‘s cap and putting it here instead.

If you’ve received a card of mine, this is the page should find. It’s all the stuff I wanted to shove on the card.

I don’t think this would have fit on a business card.

While driving into work this morning, I began thinking about how I’m using this blog and blogging in general. I came up with some open-ended questions for myself, none of which I’m able yet to answer.

• What ways can I merge my social media/new media passion with my job as a SQL developer into a career?
• What purpose do I really want this particular blog, to which I’ve assigned my name, to have?
• Should I separate the new media stuff on this blog from the technical stuff?
• How easy is it for someone looking at my resume to to really see what I’m about? Are folks finding the content I want them to find over here?
• Why do I have and maintain so many blogs? Would it be worthwhile to consolidate and/or “shut down” one or more of them?
• Is Blogger the tool I want to continue to use for my online presence, or is it worthwhile to move it to another blogging platform?
• How can I best communicate the technical aspects of my work in a way that is easy for someone to understand? Do I do this for myself mainly, or do I do this to inform others, too?

If you have any thoughts to share, please feel free to leave them in the comments.

I recognize that I have a challenge in maintaining this particular blog. As I continue to promote myself across the “internets,” different people will be visiting. What will they find? I want this to be the default landing place for people when they are looking for me. To that end, I’ve recently updated danieljohnsonjr.com:

• Stretched layout with more white space for easier reading
• Added content from my other blog feeds to the sidebar, so you can see the other fun stuff I’m doing
• Every post is labeled, so that you can find and read articles on the same topic
• Comments are always open, so please let me know what you think!

I recently gave one of my oldest blogs, Get That Job! a makeover. Here’s a link to the specific post where I mention this change, which includes screen shots of how the blog recently looked as well as how it looked in its earliest incarnation.

I like that the new version of Blogger lets you assign labels to posts, and I like how it presents the archives. I think I’m going to explore a way to present items from that blog, as well as my others, over here.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

I just realized that these posts are getting a bit lengthy, so I’m considering setting up some conditional formatting to only display a preview of the posts on the main page. I’ll have a link to the post pages so that you can read further.
