I have decided to in fact move my journal to Google Plus. I can be found HERE Those using RSS should be minimally impacted.


The address blog.spidey01.com may at sometime be made to link to a custom setup that pretty prints my Google Plus data via API, and perhaps other stuffs. As a side effect of the move over to Google Plus, this means those relying on my RSS news feed should review their feed next week. If you are using RSS, there should be no problem but if in doubt insure your reader is pointing directly to my feedburner.


Sometime after adapting Blogger, I had set things up with Feed Burner. My RSS feed via feed burner for this blog is here. Thus Blogger is setup to redirect spidey01.blogspot.com feed stuff to this address. Making it an alias of the feed burner. I assume that I should be able to keep this and point my feed burner to a new feed, completing the daisy chain. Soon I will try updating my feed burner to point through GPlusRSS pluss to my Google Plus entries. EDIT: Had an issue with GPlusRSS so I've used pluss—and the feed is active on feed burner!

Those who rely on my RSS feed being re-syndicated on my Facebook and Twitter accounts should see business as usual with the exception that it will direct you to Google Plus rather than Blogger, and it still stands that you'll be silently ignored if you comment via Facebook instead of clicking through the link. This is an advantage of dereferencing the pointer's in the right sequence lol.

Content that isn't suitable for G+ will likely reside in cloud storage and be attached to the entry. This is actually an evolution, because in the past, I've usually made a document in text or an HTML'able markup in my ~/Documents/, and then posted it to Live Journal/Blogger as applicable. Now I won't have to manually sync updates, hehehehehe.

Set course, second star to the right, and straight on till morning. Engage.
