I think it depends on the individual – what you feel comfortable with, how much time you have to be able to spend on each blog, etc, etc.

For some people, one blog is enough. For others, ten blogs. Only you can make that decision.

Trap 1, blecch – that’s me! To repent of that, I’m cutting myself loose from as many feeds as possible (read about my feeds) and striving to limit the time I spend reading. Also, I’m trying to read and post in a continuous motion. I look forward to being more effective this year than I was in ‘05. Thanks for these great ideas … we all ought to avoid these blogging traps!

It’s wonderful to work in your pj’s – though mine are Calvin Klein.

I certainly fall into the starting too many blogs trap. It’s tough to manage more than one site alone – I have noticed one of my sites has suffered from lack of effort and it’s a shame. I still want to launch more though.

Wow… you summed up a few of the ‘issues’ I’ve been having lately. It’s quite easy to get sucked into those traps, and bloggers should definitely remember that the most important factor to consider is their own content and whether or not they enjoy creating it and can continue to create it.

haha, excellent post! I’ve fallen into every one of these traps at one point or another…in fact, I recently realized that not only was trying to keep up with competitors a bad idea, but subscribing to them and seeing how much they were posting was depressing me…

So, I cut them from my feeds last month and I ended up really enjoying what I was doing again, instead of just trying to keep up with the rat race–I get enough of that offline!
