How many blogs is too many for one person to write? I started off with one blog, then I started up my shop and needed a business blog. Having two at this stage was obvious, I couldn't pour out my feeling or share my latest life crisis on a business blog, and I didn't want my current readers facing what was really a barrage of reviews and advertisements for my business.
Then I decided that I wanted to write more about my children, but again, didn't want it incorporated into my current blog. So I started another blog just for them. Three different blogs on three different topics, but then another problem arose. I was approached to write reviews and advertise competitions on my blogs, but I didn't know how I could incorporate them. If I put them in my personal blog they would alienate my readers and make my personal content more visible. It would not have been good for my business if I advertised other stuff on my business blog and although a lot of the content was appropriate for my kids blog I didn't want it be other than a record of my kids lives. My only answer was to start a new blog, one which I could add all the other stuff I didn't want to put elsewhere. I've added other content to this blog so hopefully it doesn't read like the pile of spam. I jogged along the four blogs quite contentedly for a while, if I got bogged down then maybe one or two of them would suffer, but I tried to keep them updated and fresh.
Now I have closed my business and business blog and have more time to focus on my blogs as well as fewer blogs to write.
BUT, now I want to write about my passion for food, and in particular cakes, so a new blog could be on the horizon soon.
I'd love to hear from other bloggers about how many blogs you have, or how you feel about having multiple blogs. Would you prefer to change the tone and direction of your blog rather than start a new one? Do you have mulitple blogs? If so, how many do you think should be the limit? Please answer here or on Twitter... @okesanne
Thanks :-)

Hi Anne xx
I have four blogs. My regular/main one that I write about my faith, quilting and frugal lifestyle on. One is a prayer blog that I don't use often but others send requests there occasionally. I have one that's totally private that I offload onto and one for Ethan that is very out of date now.
I often revamp my main/regular blog depending on where I am in life and what I'm doing. I've renamed it a couple of times, changed the look and the style. I have kept it in one shape or form since I became a Christian in 2006 and although it does get a bit neglected from time to time I still enjoy writing it.
I always drop in on yours every week and enjoy keeping uptodate with you and yours.
Much love
Sharon xx
