More experienced and understanding it all. I mean, there are things like personal branding, domain names, topics and what niche you draw yourself into. <br><br>I think this will help those starting out with blogs and it even shed some insight to me, with my current blog and what I'm doing. I can only imagine, two blogs is a lot to maintain. I sometimes write for our company blog and my own...that seems to be enough for now :) Thanks for sharing!
