Linking two blogging services introduces a number of unforeseen problems. So, I will try instead to channel blogs to an intermediate email account where they are processed for publishing. I will set the destination blogs to immediately publish the emails received.

Syndicated Blogs
Publishing a blog via email makes it possible for one or more bloggers to blog on one site even without an account. And it also makes possible the aggregation of multiple blogs using RSS feeds or an email sent from a blog.
This input mechanism available in most blogging services has been exploited by spammers to siphon content from different sites and build a blog automatically. The exploit is called auto blogging and was touted as a black hat technique. Seen up close, email blogging is just a simple way to syndicate content from one or more sources.

From Clicks to Riches
The ultimate goal of the Aquarius Webmaster Project is an online publication with a growing readership and a healthy revenue stream. The first step towards this goal is to establish a link between different Web 2.0 publishing platforms with high visibility on the internet.
From Clicks to Riches is a daily chronicle of one webmaster's attempt to crack the mystery of publishing profitably online. The target readers are aspiring webmasters and writers. Initially, the Vox.com edition shall be a feed from the journal of the Aquarius Webmaster Project.

ResearchManager@Twitter
ResearchManager@Twitter shall be my digital persona while working on this workspace. As Research Manager, I will be performing the roles of researcher and project manager. In the future, I may choose to delegate my work to specialists.
Designing a Blogging System
Yesterday, I conducted an initial inventory of my blogging and twitter accounts. I needed to identify the components of my online publishing system. From what I have learned from Systems Thinking (Emery, 1969),
How exactly does this blogging system work? In terms of actual blogs, I should write about the major concepts and issues related to this project. Then, I should blog, wiki and twitter somewhere else the specifics or details of the matter with corresponding hyperlinks pointed here.
In terms of timing, I will confine my work here to the first hour of my working day. In terms of purpose, my blogs are meant to give overall direction to everything else belonging to my system.
As for minor details, I'll post a comment instead of a blog as what I did earlier.
In aggregates, it is significant that the parts are added; in a system it is significant that the parts are arranged. (26)Therefore, my first task is to arrange my blogs and other Web 2.0 accounts and decide where they belong in the overall scheme of things. This blog shall be my journal and my main workspace where I will record major decisions and policies concerning this project. In "human body" terms, I would say that this will function as the brain of my blogging system.
