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.
I see it a lot on the various blogs I follow; it generally goes something likeโฆ
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 donโt understand it. I personally prefer to have a single place where I can get all your stuff. If youโre posting about something Iโm not interested in, Iโll just skip over it in my RSS feed. I donโt have to read everything in my feed reader.
More broadly thereโs 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 letโs be honest, who wants to use WordPress these days? ๐
I personally donโt have a feed per category on this site, but Iโve not had any complaints so far, so Iโm not going to bother. In fact, Iโve 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. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Iโve 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 itโs not clear already, my answer would be no. ๐
