I just moved my business site from The Thesis Theme for WordPress to Squarespace.

This was prompted after 2 malicious code injection hacks were made on my Wordpress site just last week.

When it comes to websites, I’m a pretty handy guy, and I have more than a basic knowledge of Wordpress, but these site hacks were really disruptive to my time while trying to get them sorted out.

I don’t think Squarespace is immune to these threats, but I do like that Squarespace takes care of both hosting and content management on a single, web-based platform.

With the recent Wordpress hack, not only did I have to worry about getting my Wordpress code cleaned up, but I also had to deal with my host and make sure my database hadn’t also been hacked or otherwise affected.

I already like Squarespace a lot and feel this will be my new home for some time to come.

And FYI, I considered moving my business site over to Tumblr, and would have done so, but Tumblr has no way to import Wordpress posts, comments, etc.

While I've seen Evernote referenced all over the web in recent months, I'd never really paid it much attention.

However, after using it the past week or so, including the Blackberry application, I'm now a big fan of the service.

I have it installed locally on my PC and my Mac.  I have the Firefox extension installed on both computers, too.  I have the Blackberry app on my BB Curve, and of course, they have a web app.  On top of all that, I also have a unique email address so I can forward emails directly into my Evernote account.

With all of these data capture options, I really have no excuse not to make notes, take photos, save bookmarks, clip web pages, or easily track any other type of information that I encounter whether online or offline.

I even imported my Delicious and Google Bookmarks accounts and will use Evernote as my bookmark manager of choice going forward.  It's a powerful, yet simple application.

If you haven't already, I suggest you give Evernote a try.

I've recently moved my personal site from Tumblr to Posterous.  It was an easy transition as I didn't bring over legacy content from my Tumblr site -- much of it was just a series of my Twitter posts which were pumped into Tumblr on autopilot.

Going forward, however, I'm thinking about (and asking you about) ways to simplify my online presence.  Is it better to divide your time between 5 different sites so each site only gets about 20% of your attention, or is it better to focus on 1 or 2 sites where you can focus 50% to 100% of your time and resources on contributing to conversations, etc?

Like many people, I'm on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendfeed, Tumblr, Posterous, and other iterations of what are all now collectively refer to as social networks.  I also have a site/blog on Squarespace that I use for my financial planning business.

I'm thinking about focusing on my Posterous and business sites and leaving the rest to happenstance.  Posterous, as well as many other sites, makes it simple to syndicate your content around to other sites easily as you're well aware.  So I can still write on Posterous and have the content flow to Twitter where it can then be picked up by Friendfeed.  And I can monitor specific RSS feeds to see when people mention @russthornton on Twitter or leave a comment on my Friendfeed stream.

Facebook has been a great tool to reconnect with many friends from grade school all the way through college, but I'm losing patience with all the Mafia Wars invitations and other things on Facebook and other platforms that I'm not interested in.

So, I will defer to anyone who cares to comment, because you likely have much more experience in these matters than I do.  Here's the question:

Is it anti-social to be less social on social networks and instead focus on one or two platforms where you can be more committed to participating in conversations and contributing to the community?

I welcome any feedback you're willing to share.

Well, I've pushed a couple of buttons and pulled a couple of levers over at GoDaddy, and now russthornton.com no longer is tied to my Tumblr site.  I have replaced Tumblr with Posterous.  Tumblr is great, but I think Posterous will be a better fit for my needs going forward.

Content is scarce at the moment, but stay tuned.

I think Posterous is a great platform. They're adding new functionality on a regular basis, but its power lies in its simplicity.  I highly recommend it.

With the proliferation of more and more social network integrations and more complex content syndication, it seems to be ever more challenging to avoid content redundancy when using multiple platforms and networks.

How are you working around this? What is your workflow? Have you found a system that works well for you?
