should i have one blog or multiple blogs?

By on October 15, 2008 in misc

is it better to have one blog where you write about anything and everything or have multiple blogs that are more specfic to different interest areas?

for example, this blog i talk primarily about pr and social media.

however, i am interested in many things. i am still a technologist to a large extent and would love to blog about technology as well. i also like current affairs and news should i set up a separate blog for that too?

there are bloggers who very successfully blog about everything they think about their lives whilst others have a very successful targeted blog.

i am keenly interested to hear what your thoughts are on this one because i haven’t been able to come to a conclusion. so come on smart people! let me hear your thoughts!

    It totally depends on your goals for blogging. I think you can blog about a lot of topics as long as you have a central one and everything relates loosely to that – you have to tie it together.

    Depends how “deep” you want to go with the subjects. The tech stuff could easily be incorporated here, but news and current affairs may not work for your audience

    for me that's he difficult part. some of it is related. i like the theory behind communication (social media) but i love the technology aspect as well. things such as the technology behind social media platforms. i can see how that can be tied in.

    but then if i want to discuss the news of the day, would this then need to go to another blog?

    for example, a blogger i follow dk (http://www.dk.sg) is one of singapore's top bloggers. he writes about everything under the sun and is quite successful at it.

    then you have the more targetted bloggers like http://silkcharm.blogspot.com or http://alannashaikh.blogspot.com/ and it's very specific.

    Maybe it comes down to clustering (loosely) some interest areas.

    …and that is my dilemma. i might have to just deal with having multiple blogs. damn it's hard enough to keep writing for one!
