Did I Ask For Fries?

Back when I started this blog, the thing that appealed to me about WordPress blogs versus Blogger blogs was that you could have entries about all sorts of topics, and they would cohesively come together in the one blog.  If you were only interested in one sort of topic, you could filter by that category and ignore the rest of the posts.

Recently I’ve realised that although yes, potentially, you can filter like that, the odds of someone actually being bothered enough to do that are pretty slim.  Speaking for myself, if I wasn’t interested in over 50% of the posts someone made, instead of applying a filter to categories that interested me, I’d just stop reading altogether.

I’ve also come to realise that the posts I make are either about Uni, or about the rest of my life.  Since these areas are so disparate, I strongly doubt that people interested in medicine are going to care about what food I ate that night, and conversely people that want to read about how I went in the City to Surf don’t really want to hear about how I got to witness 25cms of someone’s anus and colon being resected the other day (it was damn cool btw!).

The solution is pretty obvious: split this out into 2 separate blogs.  Coincidentally enough, that’s just what Blogger is great at doing, so I’ve decided to make the move, and have a fresh start, like a lot of other blogs that I read have done recently.

I’m also hoping this will give me some renewed vigour about the act of blogging, to make it a useful tool for working towards goals, rather than simply being a dumping ground for recounting what I’ve done during the day.

Maybe this will work, maybe it won’t, but there’s only one way to find out.  If you’re so inclined, you can now check out how my studies are going, what I’m learning, and how I’m trying to integrate all the snippets of information we come across in 3^rd year in Did I Ask for It Stat?  Otherwise if you want to read how the non-medical aspects of my life are going, please continue to read Did I Ask For Fries? in its new location.

I’m not going to shut this blog down, because I want to keep these posts from the last year or so.  If at some stage I workout how to export WordPress posts to Blogger I’ll do that, but for now that’s in the too-hard basket.

So adios for now, hopefully I’ll catch you on the flipside!!
