Original: craschworks - comments

So, I’ve been using a plugin to automatically post to LJ every time I posted to my blog. I’ve also started posting more to Facebook than to LJ (since so many sites make it so easy). However, I don’t like building up my history in the closed ecosystem that is Facebook. So I’m going to be posting to my blog first, and syndicate via RSS to Facebook and Livejournal. Here is my blog’s direct feed:

http://www.craschworks.com/feed/

and here is the LJ feed:

http://syndicated.livejournal.com/craschworks/

I will continue to use LJ for "private" posts. Should I continue to crosspost public posts to LJ? If I do, those of you subscribed to both LJ and FB will see dupes. If I turn off crossposting, you could still subscribe to the syndicated feed for the public posts, and see the private posts here. On the other hand, that would mean you'd have to subscribe to the syndicated feed.

I think it depends on whether you want people to comment on your public posts on LJ or if you want them to go to your blog. I don't mind adding the syndicated feed to my friends page on here.

oh, I guess comments are allowed on syndicated posts too, but I don't know if you get email notifications on those, so that might be slightly worse.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! That seems very useful.

Do whatever you like obviously, but lemme know what you decide because if I need to subscribe to syndication I need a heads up (but will totally do it). I read a lot of blogs via rss syndicated on LJ as it is. The only difference is I'm a little less likely to comment.

Thanks! I've decided to syndicate to a variety of services via posterous. So you need do nothing.

Thanks for that tip. I had followed the craschworks RSS feed on LJ, but I'm going to unfollow it since it'll be mirrored on the main LJ account anyway.
