How Many Blogs Do YOU Have?

I recently launched my second blog, Charmed Bracelets. My first blog, the one you're reading, goes back to 2006, so almost three years of writing about my life with cancer with occasional detours to write about other topics of interest. 

Having two blogs made me wonder how many other people have two or more ... and also made me wonder--How many blogs is too many? 

I have two. Penelope has two. Susan--a new online friend--has two. Carver has two. Gudrun, in Germany, has a Web site and two blogs. Most cancer patients I know have just one, but some have a Facebook page or Twitter account in addition to the blog. 

And then there's Teri, the Cheeky Librarian, who has ... 16!

Teri explains:

"Blogs are really great tools for librarians. ... Librarians have always thought in blog format, in my opinion. Not necessarily as a journal, but as a place to record useful bits of information without having to go through a web master or committee to design a page on the Net."

Cancer Bloggers Join Forces Again

Because I was curious about this topic, I sent a e-mail to my closest cancer blogger friends asking if they wanted to join in another joint effort to blog on the topic of maintaining multiple blogs. 

Here are the results: 

Teri: How Many Blogs Can a Blogger Blog?

Penelope has two blogs, one that is meant for her family to read (they live far away) and the other that is mainly about her life with cancer. The rationale? "Compartmentalization." Here's her post: Why Two Blogs?

Carver and I have know each other online for at least two years, and I usually involve her when I get e-mail from someone who has melanoma. Carver is in remission now, and her blog has gradually transformed to a showcase for her photography. I drop by when I need a hit of beauty.

I first met Susan when she bought a bracelet from me. I didn't know at first that she was a cancer survivor, but that came out as we continued to e-mail back and forth. And it was Susan's post about why she has two blogs that started this whole joint blogging project. Here's her post: Climb Over the Balcony

I love that headline, by the way. Here is the post she wrote about the bracelet she bought from me, complete with photos. I really love making things that are this special to the people I make them for. This bracelet was clearly made for Susan. See: A Charmed Life

I'm expecting a few more cancer bloggers to join in the fun. Please send me those links when you've posted. And if I didn't e-mail you, but you'd like to join in, please don't be shy. Just send me the link to your post. 

Here are some of our past joint-blogging efforts:

Hi Jeanne,

I'll let you know when I post. I have been thinking about this topic ever since you emailed about it and will write something in the next day or so. Hopefully tonight. It is an interesting topic to think about. Cheers, Carver
