I created a new site that will basically serve as an index page for all of my various websites. I have owned the domain alexseifert.com for a long time and for the past year or so, I’ve primarily been using that site for my music. Yesterday I decided to make the homepage on alexseifert.com a sort of index and relegated my music site to http://www.alexseifert.com/music.
You can see the new index at http://www.alexseifert.com.
After some consideration and the shutting down of a couple of my other blogs, I think I am just going to continue with my blogs as such. I have reduced the number to three (this one, Es Wird Kalt and History Rhymes) and I think that will suffice. That is much better than the seven which I had before.
My decision lies in the fact that most of the readers of History Rhymes read the blog for history and not for anything else. So I’ve decided to keep it separate and write only about history on that blog. Everything else will be here.
I am thinking about consolidating all of my blogs into just two: an English language blog and a German language blog. I am kind of tired of having several different blogs which I feel I need to update and which often times have the same subject matter anyway. The separation between English and German I still feel is valid for obvious reasons, but other than that I don’t think I really need seven different blogs.
If I were to do that (and I am still in the internal debating process of it), I think I would turn History Rhymes into my English language blog. The subject matter wouldn’t change a whole lot, but there would possibly be a few posts about other, non-history related subjects such as technology, German or my music. Posts that you would typically expect to find here I think. My only problem is I am afraid I would alienate readers who do not care for such topics and only want to read about history. Of course the subject matter would primarily be about history.
What do you, the readers, think about the idea? I am, after all, keeping this blog for my readers. I would really like your input on it.
