Doing Much Better With Only One Blog
I dumped them. Just let them go completely. They are still out there lurking in blogland, but they no longer make me feel guilty when I don’t update them.
One I started to promote classes. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and given the name of one of the classes, it was suitable. Didn’t get used much though, and I quickly ran out of topics – I think I’ll eventually open this one to other instructors.
One was for SEO. A friend said she wanted to do an SEO Blog. So I set it up. She posted once, and left me holding the bag. I kept it up, posting every other day for several months. It is a compendium of SEO commentary that has value. But I’ve run dry on the topic, having tackled it from almost every angle that applies to small business. So I walked away. Eventually, if I think of something that needs to go in it, I may update it occasionally, but I no longer feel obligated to do it.
The third was for a blogging community. It will eventually sustain itself, so I let it go also. I’ll post if I feel the desire, but otherwise, it can just fend for itself.
This blog is me. I jokingly say of Frumpy Haus Frau, that it is the one place I can completely be myself online. That the header is really ME, and in fact it is, because my son drew that. I usually have more kids lurking in the background than that, but even that is declining all the time (sniff!). This one deals with the topics that I most like to write about though, and I can pretty much go off in any direction and it still fits.
The weight really lifted. Now I just have two major sites to keep rolling forward with, and six more in various stages of development. Much more manageable!
Really!
I can mostly keep up with just one. Sometimes fall behind though.
