While using this blog as a playground to develop my WordPress skills, it has gotten to the stage where I have lost the plot. Out have gone any none WP or internet related posts, and I will try and start again. I have managed to set up my reseller site over at www.mahita.net, and I will try and use that to help people setting up blogs. Very soon I will detail how I set up the blog for Mahita, obviously I used WordPress with some heavy hacking. Check back for my mini tutorial.

Forever digging myself into a deeper hole, I was relieved to see this article about allocating various email addresses to certain tasks. Having grown from ‘English teacher’ to ‘English teacher with a business’, with 3 domains and about 10 email addresses, I looked around and was appalled at the mess I had created for myself.

The worst problem is inefficiency, with no structure to my system -if I have the audacity to call it that- I was checking all my mail addresses for all areas of my life. Now, using the above linked article as a guide I have managed the following:

  1. Personal email address for close friends, family, etc
  2. ‘Premium’ work address for important work related mail, people I deal with regularly
  3. General work address for the ‘occasional’ partners
  4. Social-networking registration address
  5. Web-site registration mail, which I know will end up on mailing lists

Now everything is in it’s place, all that remains to be seen is how strict I will be with those who send mails to the wrong address. What would you do?
