Here are some techno-implementations I've been exploring lately to make my blogging a safer and more streamlined experience:

1)  Are you under attack by your employer for blogging on the job?  Then consider:

Ghostzilla:  The Camouflage Web Browser
For Total Screen Privacy

I’ve tried this and the claims it makes are true!  You can have a webpage open and active ‘within’ the application frame of Word, PowerPoint, or any application and by graying the text and stealthing the pics, Ghostzilla (a variety of Mozilla) makes the webpage appear as practically native to the open, ‘non-browser’ application.  But remember: though this might conceal your discreet, if not surreptitious, blogging activity on your desktop, if your employer is sniffing your network for nonwork-related surfing, this desktop cloak will not conceal you.

2)  http://beam.to

A very neat redirect service—due to it’s nifty name and remarkable brevity.

• Easy to change
  Your personal password offers you the possibility to change your Redirect URL or target-URL whenever you want.
  
• Easy to remember
  The most important thing on the web is that people know how to find you, especially when you are promoting your site in advertisements. With your Redirect URL you can make sure your website will be found.
  
• No charges
  This service is completely free.
  
• Immediate activation
  If you register now, your Redirect URL will be active within a few minutes.

I’ve just implemented a series of beam.to ‘s to make my life easier:

http://beam.to/nfp   my xanga!   (This is useful for checking on the page, but if it is used before actually logging into the blog, any subsequent login attempt from the redirected url will fail since the redirect fails to pass the login info along properly for authentication.  —in which case I just go back to www.xanga.com and login.)

http://beam.to/nfp1   my blogspot.

http://beam.to/nfp2  my livejournal

http://beam.to/nfp3  my greymatter (this is my only non-community based blog.  It is running both the blogging software and blogging database on my home PC server)

http://beam.to/nfp4  my deadjournal

http://beam.to/nfp5  my upsaid

http://beam.to/nfp6  my blurty

http://beam.to/nfpcam  my webcam

They are ‘dynamic sounding’,  very easy to remember, extremely short to type, and I can just substitute a single # at the end of any one of these to navigate to the next one.

I’ve even created beam.to ‘s for some of you  (hehehe) to ease my navigation to your blogs.  I rarely, rarely use bookmarks for xanga, but usually just end up typing out the whole url, eg., www.xanga.com/notforprophet (there’s no need, of course, to type the  ‘http://’  in today’s browsers).    That’s 27 keystrokes!  But if I’m already logged into xanga, and I want to navigate to read and comment on a site, typing, eg.,  beam.to/nfp  requires only 11 keystrokes!  Sure, a lot of blogging employs the convenience of hyperlinks. But when, out of the blue as I’ll often do, I want to visit certain friends’ sites, typing in  beam.to/xyz  instead of www.xanga.com/abcdefghijklm  proves, for me, rewardingly convenient.

Oh, by the way, what could I possibly have in mind in having so many different blogs?  Well, let's see...

Gloominous Doom?

Luminous Gloom?

Doomness on the Loose?

Luminous Loon?
