In my prior post I discussed moving my WordPress blog for endurance sports off of the main domain to a subdomain. That allowed me to use the main domain franzkelsch.com for a website. In the past I had used websites for some of my main domains, including this one as well as kelsch.com.

The problem with personal websites is they get out of date and updating them with current information often gets neglected. An example of this is my other family website kelsch.org which needs an overhaul.

Because of this issue of personal websites getting out of date I have moved to using blog software, such as this post, to make new entries. I use WordPress software on my personal domains for that purpose and I had converted the URL franzkelsch.com to a blog focused on my endurance sports and kelsch.com to a blog about the family. That has worked well, but I still missed the ability to format a website and add in links and other information that does not need to be updated frequently.

After some experimenting with work I was doing on the bicycle club website, I realized I could create a website and use RSS feeds from my blogs to keep the website up to date. So I moved my blog to a subdomain and created a brand new website on franzkelsch.com that takes RSS feeds from four blogs.

I used the same technicquite with a RSS feed from our photo galleries at SmugMug.

Now I now longer need to maintain this website, and just let it be populated with the feeds. As I create a blog entry, such as this one, or create new photo galleries, my personal website will always be up to date.

As part of this overhaul I decided to segregate my posts into four different blogs, family, endurance sports, computer and photography. It may be a bit of overkill, but it does replicate what I use to do in terms of personal websites when I had one for each of those categories. I still maintain other personal websites dealing with endurance sports. One is swim2bike2run.net and the other is ultracycle.net. I need to decide what to do with these.
