[...] 1) First off understand what blogging does to your body. Blogging is extremely taxing on your body. Especially because folks like me take the laptop into the bathroom and often spend hours staring at the screen. It can be taxing on your mind, your soul, your eyes, and well your ego. You can forget that reality exists outside the blog world. If you are running 20 or more sites like some of Darren Rowse’s visitors you could be at it a long time at time just updating every single one of those quality sites. Your hands could ache from typing for hours, and well for folks like Scrivs who seemingly download “music” in between each blog post. Blogging can just seek to take a toll on the bodily fluids. The result basically is nausea, twitchy nerves, unpleasantness, pessimism, terrible brain pain, and a temporary lack of concern for fellow homosapiens. One of my symptoms is snarkiness which can be a good thing if you run a site like this. But if you run a bridal site it can be detrimental to your quality. [...]

10 blogs in the network at the moment, looking to add at least one more by the beginning of the year. It’s a challenge trying to build a small blog network by myself, so getting occasional blog entries from others is a nice break when it happens.

I currently have six weblogs although I plan on ramping that up in the new year. Most of the weblogs fall into two categories Fitness and Realtor marketing. Quite often my posts can fit to more than one category.

One idea that I am toying with and maybe Darren will have some insight on this is to have niche blogs that are only active for a short time.

We have a federal election going on here in Canada and I am wading in with some posts about it on my “generic” weblog mentioned in the link with my name but would it be better to have a new weblog for just the election? Maybe relaunch a political blog after that or just let it sit as a testament to what happened during the one election campaign. I bet I could come up with a dozen ideas for short term weblogs without much effort but the question is would it be a good idea?

Three – the other two of which are updated daily. Am putting together plans to work on a total of eight on a daily basis from next month. Your sound advice is always appreciated.

Me… a couple of personal blogs (intended for different groups of friends);

Regularly running 1 photo blog and 2 “others” blogs;

Starting a gadget blog in Chinese;

Stopped running 1 freebies blog;

And more “others” blogs coming…

I started my first blog about a year ago but was never really into it until very recently. I’m far from making any real money with blogging but I figured that if I could make some extra cash doing what I love to do, that isn’t too bad ;)

I think it’s around 26, I keep getting bored and starting new ones, then I get bored with the new ones and go back to the old ones. If I get bored with that I start a new one again. I wish I could settle on one niche. Telegraph poles from 1948 to 1954, or something like that.

Depends on the definition of blog, but as far as the “typical blog”… 3 in my network, 1 personal.

I have 4. I think of them as a network. When I have a “category” that is getting big, I spin it off into a blog with it’s own URL.

4, although one would probably count as two, since I maintain a version of it in French as well (it’s only translating, not writing completely new posts).

I own two blogs, but only one of them is currently updated on regular basis. The personal blog became less relevant, since my main interest is now offspun into its own site.
