+In addition to my main [[blog]] which contains every entry I write,
+there are a couple ways to read my blog more selectively:
+
+* [[technical]] Includes talk about technical issues, (mostly
+[[software]] of course). Occasionally, non-technical stuff will appear
+here, but things that will likely be of interest to readers, (talk of
+interesting [[games]] for example).
+
+* [[personal]] This is strictly non-technical content, and contains
+material that is likely to only be of interest to family members or
+close friends. Anyone is free to read it though if they'd really like.
+
+It's also possible to read or subscribe to individual categories of
+postings with the various tags that appear in the box on the side of
