What to do

Now that blogger has lables, I dont really need to have seperate blogs. But Seperate blogs do serve a purpose in keeping the information that is delivered narrow. So as the consumer does not have to search through the blog to get information on a particular topic.

Which is why a lot of online magazines/media outlets have a network of blogs. eg. Gawker or weblogsinc.

So what to build. Build a network of individual blogs. Put all my effort into one blog or a single blog that does everything.

Any blog that is worth anything has a fairly specific purpose. It can have wide wings, such as gapingvoid. Which is a comic, business blog, blog about blogs and other online businessey things. But they are all centred around one thing, its about the business of blogging. The comics often relate to it. The companies he consults for are using him to teach them about blogging. He then writes about this on his blog, with some nice tips. So even though the content is very different from post to post, its all about centred around a narrow focus area. Not so narrow as to exlude things that may be interesting to his readers.

Theres an interesting thought, reader base.
