2011 WordPress.com Wants After One Year of Hosting 14 Network Blogs
Here we are, a year later, after making a triumphant Boles Blogs Network return to WordPress.com. We temporarily left WP.com to unwittingly head into the gaping maw of a horrible experience with a self-hosted Movable Type installation — but we quickly remedied our dismay and rejoined the Automattic servers.

Boles.co and Bitly.Pro Craft Historic Links
I discovered Bitly.Pro the other day, and I can’t believe I missed the early beta invitation to join the free program that gives you your very own personal link-shortening URL. I sent in a request to be added to the beta program and in three days I received my welcome letter!

Organizing the Boles Blogs Network with the Paper Notebook Technique
Before there was the Boles Blogs Network, there was just Urban Semiotic and planning articles was simple. Either I was writing an article for Urban Semiotic or Go Inside Magazine — not too difficult. More blogs were added — three, here, four there, then three more — until the 13-blog strong Boles Blogs Network was created. Across the network, we cover all the niches of living. By the time we hit that magical number 13, I had a problem — no good way to keep up with knowing when I hadn’t written an article for a blog in a long while, and what I was planning on writing for any given blog.

The Ultimate Basecamp Review
Finding a way to effectively work online is vital to any enterprise that relies on an internet connection for communication instead of in-the-room face reading expression. Boles University used to use Google Sites for online communication, but a month or so ago we permanently moved up to the Basecamp for-pay service — we’ve been back-and-forth on the free/paying/free Basecamp plan since the service started five years ago — to better serve our online private portal work needs. Here’s what our Basecamp Dashboard looks like. I’ve box blurred the names and titles of private projects throughout this review.
Scientific Aesthetic and Dramatic Medicine
Last week, we announced three new additions to the Boles Blogs Network — Panopticonic, Carceral Nation and Memeingful — and today we are delighted to announce two more sites we have added to the network!
The first is ScientificAesthetic.com — that site used to be a website, but we’ve now made it more interactive in our ongoing effort to help bring The Arts to Science. We’ll be writing and wondering about the ways our innate aesthetic informs how to we relate to, and think about, science. Scientific Aesthetic has two logos you’ll be seeing along the Network. The first is the name and the second is the semiotic idea of name:

Announcing Panopticonic, Carceral Nation and Memeingful
The Boles Blogs Network is delighted to announce the creation of three new blogs for your reading pleasure that focus on news, commentary and analysis of three important themes that run throughout this Urban Semiotic blog. The first — Panopticonic — concerns us watching those watching us. Jeremy Bentham invented the idea of a “panopticon” in 1787:
A circular prison with cells arranged around a central well, from which
inmates can be observed at all times. Also in extended use.
Today, Panopticonic helps us fight back against the decay of personal privacy under the eyeing thumb of those that surveil us on a daily basis.
