Frances Bell’s Blog

It fascinates me how people manage mutiple blogs, and I have been watching what the great and the good do (you know who you are;-) )?

I have already blogged here (see Josie’s comments on how to push feeds with elgg) and here about feeds and blogs.? Alex Hardman asked me to post about how to set up feeds, so I thought I would take a step back to think about and draw diagrams of two different approaches.? Hoping this will start a discussion on the pros and cons of these (and other possible) approaches.

?

This is the way I am currently managing my original Eduspaces blog and two ‘project’ blogs I have started recently.? The two project blogs feed into my main blog, so I won’t lose them in my archives even if the project mini-blogospheres morph into something else.?? When I want to blog something, I make a decision on its relevance to the projects.

Of course it’s still not very satisfactory as the comments are in two places and unconnected.? See what I mean in this diagram of the common ‘mirroring’ approach.

?

So what do you all think about the mutiple blog thing??
