Never let it be said that the world of blogging belongs just to us techies. I feel that there are a lot of other professions that could take advantage of blogging, and its ability for a small, very specialized segment of the population to be able to commiserate with each other over the net. And one very good example is Emergency Medical professionals. So when one of my best friends (who happens to be an ER doctor and administrator) started reading my blog, he realized that a lot of what us techies are doing with blogs could be utilized by his profession. He asked me how hard it would be to set one up, and how to get started. Since I already use the multi-blog version of .Text, and WebHosting4Life will let you have multiple domains on the same account, it was very easy for me to get him up and running in no time. One of the things I did (since it is all under one account) is to setup his blog using the same database as mine, but give him his own domain name. This way, I can easily aggregate specific categories of his blog, and my blog into aggregate websites, and not need any background aggregation service. A good example will be a new site that will aggregate his music related blog entries and mine under a third domain (I bought the domain, just haven’t done the graphics for it yet).
So when you get a chance, check out EMDoc and his blog, EmerMedDoc, but be easy with him, he still is a newbie. Maybe next time you have to go to an ER and wait 4 hours to see a doctor, you will understand why it can take so long.
