The Juggling of Blogs

At this moment I run basically two blogs, The Archives of Eduardo Chavez and GallantTeddy. The reason that I have two blogs in the first place is simply because I love sharing ideas, concepts, thoughts, etc. I love blogging, I really do. But when managing more than one, things can get quite disruptive.

It makes sense to me that it would be a lot simpler to manage only one blog instead of two and I have thought about this before. GallantTeddy is the newest of my blogs while Archives is my old one and I have considered deleting Archives. But I have also considered deleting GT. 

Archives is special to me because of it’s URL, it’s just my name really, eduardochavez.blogspot.com. I really don’t want to give up that URL simply because if you were to Google my name, chances are more my blog would come up. Considering my name is so popular, I would love the idea of people finding me instead of others. Also, I have Adsense enabled in it and even though the ad clicks aren’t anything spectacular it really is nice to see some pocket change come in.

Another reason would be because I get so much traffic on that blog, specifically for this post. I modified that particular  image with a couple of words and phrases and to my surprise a lot of people actually liked it! But at the same time, that image does not belong to me and if I receive revenue from my ads, specifically from the traffic coming from that particular post, I can’t help but feel as though I’m cheating the system. Something that I don’t want to do.

GallantTeddy on the other hand is a blog dedicated to all of the posts that I am actually really proud of. So far it consists of my Hangout shows and of posts where I have actually taken the time to write things of significance to me. I don’t want to give up this blog because it is my latest creation and it has also been my most consistent.

Aside from these blogs I also share quite a bit on my Google+ profile. On G+, I try to have a mixture of quick thoughts as well as long posts such as this. In a way, I feel as though I’m juggling three blogs all at once.

With all this in mind, I still feel as though it would be beneficial to get rid of one of three. My Google+ however is out of the process. Heck no! I love G+! So either Archives or GT has to go. So far it seems like it will be Archives, even though I would lose the URL and Adsense from it. 

I’ll still think about it some more though. Maybe there is another option that I’m not quite seeing.

Do you have a blog? Or blogs? If so, how do you manage it, if at all?
