I have been out of the United States for nearly 12 weeks, and I am beginning to question my sanity in keeping two separate blogs for my "life" and my "life in Cambodia."
I thought having a separate "travel" blog was good because I could write about specific travel type issues and thoughts and leave this blog for my daily ramblings. It worked well as we went through the application process, but now...
Now, my daily ramblings ARE travel issues and thoughts. It's getting...tiring maintaining two blogs and I have wracked my brain all this week trying to brainstorm separate topics for my travel blog and here.
So I need your help. Is it a good idea to keep the separate blogs? Should I simply merge them, and then be able to update things more frequently here?
I'd love your opinion!
Also, if you're on Google reader, hop over to my site because I spent a bit of time (and money, as we buy internet per KB here) on updating the design a bit. I bought the image off istock right before we left- I had credits expiring- and finally used it. It's a nod to my former wedding life.
Happy Friday- I'm off to bed!
Update:
thank you all a ton for your thoughts! consider it merged and i am already feeling a bit saner! you all rock.
Merge, baby, merge! As someone who has too many blogs, I think merging is much easier on you and your readers! I'll continue reading everything, though, no matter where you post!
ReplyDeleteLove the pencils! If it's easier on you, I say just merge the two :)
ReplyDeleteCute new look!! I say merge 'em since I read both anyway--it's probably so much easier on you!
ReplyDeleteIf merging is easier for you, then by all means go ahead and merge! Also, I'm not sure about Blogger, but with WordPress I know that you can create separate tabs, as well as separate RSS feeds, based on categories so that would solve the problem for any readers who would only want to read about one subject.
ReplyDeleteI agree, merge them :)
ReplyDeleteThe pencils are cute! I'd say merge them - I actually have both in my google reader, so I see double posts sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteOOOH! the pencils are so cute! i say do whatever you feel is best, we'll follow no matter what!
ReplyDeleteI vote merge and I like the pencils!
ReplyDeleteLove the re-design!
ReplyDeletei would merge if it is easier for you. and i love the pencils! looks great :)
ReplyDeletethe new site looks fantastic! i'm all for streamlining and keeping it to 1 blog, but whatever works best for you is the most important factor.
ReplyDeleteI say merge! I like the new site design--especially the pencils!!
ReplyDeleteI tried separate blogs once (tried to put my baking in one) and I hate writing like that, personally. I keep everything - wedding, baking, crafts, all in one blog. I've never really pigeonholed myself anyway blogwise (trying to be just a 'crafts' or 'wedding' or whatever blog) so I see my blog as a lifestyle blog, because it is about my life. :)
ReplyDeleteMerge! And cute pencils :) (also really like the background)
ReplyDeleteI would say merge since I only follow this blog in my reader! Love the new header!
ReplyDeletemerge away!
