Elegant blogging

6 June 2009

Earlier I have said a person only needs one blog. But is one blog already too much?

And what to do when the topics of your blog vary so much like mine?

Of all my blogs the one which has been least effective is this blog, the general blog. It has no direction. It has a title which is has no meaning to anyone else but me. I tend to put in anything (rant) and find none of the content is really worth writing about. The ones I do focus upon don’t seem to match blog title. This I think is important.

My other blogs are pundit blogs – one photo, one linguistic and one sustainability blog. My sustainability blog is the oldest and most successful in terms of content and readership. But my most successful post is one in the linguistic blog. It is of practical nature (a how-to post) and it consistently gets found in web searches because this is what people are looking for.

So the question is which topic I should stick with. I do not think a general blog is particularly good for producing content. Having a focus is always good. So a focused blog is a good blog.

The likely candidate is my sustainability blog I think. And how-to posts for it are probably going to make it better.
