Unless any of you can give me a compelling reason not to, I've decided to bite the bullet and combine my blogs. The idea is to convert Happymaking (http://happy-making.blogspot.com) into my custom domain (http://heatherkephart.com).
My blog will still be called "Happymaking". It will simply live at a new address that bears my name. The posts that currently exist at Textual Medium will (better!) remain. From what I understand there will be a re-direct, and I can transfer my RSS feeds so the move should have little impact.
Is this a really bad idea? Please tell me if it is. I don't want to alienate my beloved readers, or screw up my feeds and followers. I just don't have the time to run two blogs right now. Thank you. :)
It can be tough maintaining one blog, let alone two. Just point me in the right direction and I will follow. 8-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about this but I think Andrea at Creative Junkie has gone through the process so she may be able to give you some advice on it.
ReplyDeleteI'll follow you no matter where you go...you can't get rid of me...LOL
I say go for it! Having your own domain is the way to go. There's always people willing to help you out on forums. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteAs Anne mentions, I couldn't keep up with more than blog -- so I am totally with you on the one-blog plan!!! especially since it's a personal blog. I know for some people they migght have maybe, a personal blog and another for say photography or some other specific field.
ReplyDeleteYes, your own named domain has zero downside, all upside, great branding.
And of course you know I'll keep coming back for YOU, whatever your blog may be.
