I'll post my Civil War and Wild West stuff here but also post it on the other blog as well. Midlist Writer should have a post every day but be broader in coverage.Sean McLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778503397743759469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-15031616248047136522013-10-18T11:10:36.130-05:002013-10-18T11:10:36.130-05:00Lexa has a great idea.

I made the switch over a year ago to solely my website. I did lose followers, but I'm saner. So I'm good with that. Your sanity and what's best for you should be the priority. If you move, keep the site up with a link to the new site as the post. That's what I did. My old blogger site still exists, but it tells everyone to go to my website.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-36042290659804962682013-10-18T10:35:26.309-05:002013-10-18T10:35:26.309-05:00I think that being open about any changes, and let...I think that being open about any changes, and letting us all know ahead of time helps keep followers! We'll just chase you down, as long as we have an address.

Just make sure to link to the new one when you go so I can find you. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-52709155481895639562013-10-17T11:24:18.370-05:002013-10-17T11:24:18.370-05:00I haven't seen your other blog but that would ...I haven't seen your other blog but that would be a great place to continue with new things. Perhaps you could back off of this one a bit but keep it going without too much stress on your time. There must be a way you can link them together so people can see new posts on both. BTW, have fun with NaNoWriMo. It is a great experience. I'm not doing it this year because I'm in the midst of another project but I've learned so much in past years. Good luck whatever you do.

And usually I only follow one blog if someone has multiples, although I do make exceptions!<br />Which blog has the most followers and traffic? If it's this one, why not revise the title a bit and make it fit for everything?Alex J.

It's still up, but I don't post there anymore because my own interests drifted away from that subject matter, as my hobby focus moved from RPGs to Writing. I feel bad about abandoning the blog, because at its height it was getting quite a lot more traffic than PMP gets now, but trying to maintain two blogs was a lot of work. Post Modern Pulp as it exists today is a much more generalized blog, and while not every visitor is going to like every article, roping in a lot more content has definitely helped.<br /><br />So the way I look at your situation, do people come to this blog of yours because of the Civil War, or do they come here because of you? If it's because you're writing it, I think you're better off shifting to a different, more generic blog. Perhaps post something here once a month, just so you show up on feeds, and have a great big link to your new page. There's nothing wrong with leaving this blog live, but I found that trying to maintain two blogs that are sort-of-but-not-quite-related far more trouble than it is worth.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-52316310869198388692013-10-17T10:17:37.889-05:002013-10-17T10:17:37.889-05:00I have a hard enough time keeping up with one blog...I have a hard enough time keeping up with one blog, I can't imagine trying to maintain two or more. I would just revamp this one to include the other elements. I'm all about less work ;)Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.com
