Scott: the thing about blogging is audience v. content. What you'd like is to write down anything you want a record of, then have a tailored version (filtered/reordered/organized) generated for each viewer depending on who they are. Nobody has done a system that's very good at this yet. So while my Movable Type blog is fine for high-minded public stuff organized by categories, LT has a community which is more likely to be interested in the men I've run into, what I think about narcissists, my cookie recipes, and nude photography. So it makes sense to put that more personal stuff here.
