I don’t know what to do with the WP site yet, to be honest, Jane. Maybe run two similar blogs or two different ones? Maybe move everything over here and just continue posting on both of them? I made a new WP blog just a few minutes ago out of curiosity more or less. What do you think would be the best approach?

Hi-I find one blog along with my website is enough to handle…not sure I could maintain two blogs. I suppose I would want everything in one place otherwise, it would seem that you’re dividing your readership. I would only do two blogs if they were very different from each other. Hope that helps… 🙂
