Thanks, Julie. This is a great idea I’ve been contemplating for awhile. It encourages me to hear that it works for you.

Each week I post a life/parenting lesson story. I am getting better/faster, but it still takes a long time to create that one entry. I’m toying with different ideas to add another day, ie Friday Favorite… Something! Your book has helped and inspired me soooo much! Thanks!

Currently I blog twice a month, and it’s a struggle to produce the content because it seems to take forever. But it’s true: blogging is a skill. And like any skill, practice builds speed, confidence, and quality. Looks like it’s time for me to up my game. Thanks!

Oh, dear heavens! You only need one blog. Your name. Ashley-Prince’s Blog. Your brand is YOU. If you blog on different topics, just slate to specific days. For instance, this is Kristen Lamb’s Blog. Monday is craft. Tuesday is Twitter. Wednesday is Social Media for Writers and Friday is Free for All and sometimes has nothing at all to do with writing. I don’t need four separate sites!!! People are smart. Give them some credit :D.

If people subscribe, they can simply pay attention to what interests them and ignore the other days. I will go on. I don’t expect to please every person with every post…though I do try.

Personally, I am frustrated by bloggers who have more than 2 blogs. There are so many blogs that many of us already follow that it becomes overwhelming when one blogger has multiple blogs. Depending on how often they post, I tend to ignore most of their blogs and focus on the one I originally started with or seems most useful. Oftentimes if I go to a blogger’s profile and see several blogs listed, if I am pressed for time I just back out and not look at any of them.
I think bloggers who have a lot to say should limit their blogging and say what they have to say in a book or magazine articles or something like that.
