Why Have Multiple Blogs?
A few people I follow have multiple blogs that they use for various topics, but I don't really understand why.

Subscribe to my RSS feed for posts about
[topic A]
and subscribe to my newsletter for posts about[topic B]
. For posts about[topic C]
take a look at this blog instead.
I donβt understand it. I personally prefer to have a single place where I can get all your stuff. If youβre posting about something Iβm not interested in, Iβll just skip over it in my RSS feed. I donβt have to read everything in my feed reader.
More broadly thereβs also the option to categorise posts, and so one could have a different RSS feed per category. WordPress does this out of the box, but letβs be honest, who wants to use WordPress these days? π
I personally donβt have a feed per category on this site, but Iβve not had any complaints so far, so Iβm not going to bother. In fact, Iβve not had any complaints about the various topics I cover here, either. Quite the contrary, actually. The feedback I usually get is that people like the various waffle I produce. π€·ββοΈ
Iβve been sitting on this post as a draft for a few days now, and then I saw this post by Ivan in my RSS feed, where he talks about people with multiple blogs, and asks whether he should keep maintaining multiple blogs.
If itβs not clear already, my answer would be no. π
