It’s quite obvious from the frequency of my posts that I’m not what you’d call an “avid blogger.” There is a reason for this, and it’s not that I don’t have anything to say. In fact, my problem is quite the opposite—often, I feel like the articles I want to post would be too numerous and of to much subject variety to fit nicely into this so-called “blog.”
I’m a bit of a neat-freak, and I like to have everything nicely organized in it’s place. For this reason, the idea of loosely categorizing my thoughts on all subjects (programming, design, business, science, photography, wine & beer, music…) in the same place doesn’t sit well with me.
When faced with a new topic I’d like to post I’m stuck trying to decide where it fits. And unfortunately, this usually ends up with me not posting anything at all!
Basically, there are two options for me:
1. Post everything on kylefox.ca
2. Create several topic-specific blogs
I like the idea of having multiple blogs, each with a fixed subject. The downside is that obviously that means more work, which may discourage me from blogging as often. The advantage, however, is it would mean each individual blog offers more value to readers by containing only content relevant to the subject. In a way, I’m already doing this—random interweb findings get posted to megabigtime instead of kylefox.ca.
Perhaps I’m over-thinking this. Should I simply create a view high-level categories for kylefox.ca? Or do you prefer when blogs stick to their primary subject?
