There’s an interesting post and discussion at Mike Sansone’s ConverStations about whether blogging has ‘peaked’. The general conclusion seems to be that although the absolute number of daily posts might be on the way down, the full benefits and applications of blogging are still to be developed. As Mike says:
Even if blogging has peaked, the plateau ahead is wide and far. The participation and conversation is just getting started.
I buy that argument. In fact I’m so taken with my first few weeks of blogging that I’ve decided to set up another site. Yes, a new blogsite Confident Writing: coaching tips from a writing coach has just been born. It gives me the space to put all my material on writing with confidence over there, leaving this site with the focus on coaching and stories, which seems to be what people are enjoying so far 
The site is a bit simpler in design than this one – I did it pretty much by myself so fingers crossed there aren’t too many technical glitches – though it was very much inspired by the fantastic tuition I got from my Business Blog Angel Claire. Her site quotes the saying "teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" and that is her approach all over – she doesn’t just build you a site but passes on the skills, the techniques and the confidence to go forth and blog-multiply!
Anyway, I’m feeling really good about having the two sites and the chance to develop a distinct identity for both. I just hope I don’t end up spending too much time blogging at the expense of other things, or developing a split personality.
If you’ve got a moment you could call by the site and have a look, leave your picture (you MyBlogLoggers) or post a comment…
Meantime, any advice from experienced blog writers on the joys and challenges of managing multiple blogs?
