It's a new year

This year I want to spend less time online. That's probably a goal of mine every year, and usually nothing changes. Lately I have been better at this though. I have too many online accounts, and I am trying to downsize. How many blogs does a person need? Plus there's Facebook, Flickr, Ravelry, and other sites. I think I'm just tired of it all.

I do like sharing things I make though, but where does that take me? I'm not sure this site gets enough traffic to keep it going, and I don't really know how to increase traffic.

I'm thinking of moving this blog back to my livejournal account, for simplicity. I'd still keep the blogger account for swaps, such as the International Scarf Exchange, and will probably keep Tasty Fish & Chips here. But for simplicity's sake, maybe it would be better to reduce my number of blogs. RSS feeds are available for livejournal, and people can comment through OpenID if they don't have or wish to get a livejournal account. Currently my livejournal has only 5 friends, and that won't change (or if it does, it will be to add someone I am already friends with). All entries are currently "friends only".

I like Ravelry for being able to look up patterns and yarns, but other than that, I don't really feel like participating in that site much. I can upload stash and FO photos to Flickr, as I do that already (sort of). I'm in the process of cleaning up my Flickr account as it is, and plan on using that to archive old photographs and mementos.

Maybe it's time for some real change.
