So here's the deal.
I have three blogs and post on two like, all the freakin' time.
The third is the ruff ruff review and i LOVE the blog topic, but don't have enough dog products to review that are coming in on a regular basis to keep posts fresh.
So, after reading up on another bloggy question here, I am wondering if I should just let the blog die and incorporate it into berrie sweet picks. Like, one day a week Carrie (who write about cats!) and I could do a "Pawesome Thursday" or whatever day of the week it might be and post our pet product reviews on that day.
Any suggestions?
And if i do let the blog die....does that make me a bad dog mom?
And how do i let a blog die, anyway? just never post? or actually remove it from blogger?

I'd let the third blog die, but keep the name and just have a notice telling people where to find your doggy reviews from now on.

I'm all into keeping the focus as tight as possible, as you may have guessed. So the fewer blogs to split your energy & attention, the better. Wink

I don't know a lot about blogger blogs, but I've read somewhere (here?) that you can somehow redirect the url to your own domain.
Not sure if that would apply here...

And no, you're not a bad doggy mum (or mom), you rock! peace

I agree, I'd let the third blog go and Jane's idea of a notice on its former location letting them know where you might be doing other reviews is a great oen.

Maybe you could find someone to take it over. You have it started for a newbie. Not sure how all that would work though. Ok, maybe I'm just thinking outloud  Smiley

That's an interesting idea.
I wonder how you'd go about doing that?

hmmm..still thinking of how to approach this. the idea of passing it on to another blogger is interesting. but that might be tough as the "point of view" was my own dogs...
hmmm...this is a tough one.

well, the blog i am talking about nixing is the ruff ruff blog. i haven't posted there in ages. deadlines and diapers i am still posting at (not in the past week, but oh well.) i want to start adding a weekly feature on berrie sweet picks for dog and cat products, so we will see how that goes.

Pauline -

I agree with the other girls about letting it go then and no, that doesn't make you a bad doggie mom! kitty

As for how to incorporate it, I really like the idea of you and Carrie doing 'Pawesome Thursday' or whatever.  Cool idea!  You are doing such a great job with Berrie Sweet that it is hard to be spread too thin.  Not to worry.  Leave a cool looking post on Ruff Ruff directing them back to Berrie and tell them what you have planned.  Then make an exciting launch of it and you will be all the better for it! party time

Just leave it up.  You never know when inspiration might strike someday, and it'd be a shame to delete all of your past posts.

Oh, and I forgot to say, I'm like you. I have three blogs, and I mainly post on my Pink Ink one.

Sometimes I forget I have the others until a random comment comes along. But I like having them, if nothing else, I have it as an outlet for my other interests that don't really have a place in my main one.
