Your Thoughts On A Possible Blog Merge?

I’ve come to a bit of a conundrum and I’d like some opinions of a possible merging of blogs. My first blog (http://adrianhayter.com) was a personal blog I kept for various friends and to share some opinions / work with the world. I never really put much on it, and after I started this blog, it gradually fell into disuse. This is something I greatly regret, but maintaining two blogs can get annoying knowing that you are constantly switching audiences.

Obviously I don’t want to get rid of either of them, so I suggest a simple merge. My personal blog will merge into this one. The Atheist Blogger will continue to be a blog about atheism, but will also have semi-regular posts about myself, my life, and my work. I am sure this would interest those among you who like to hear about universities, computers, and general technobabble, but I’d like to hear a general consensus of opinions from everyone.

I will try to keep up my 1 article on atheism a day minimum (please excuse the past weekend which has been busy), but will also include articles about student life, especially student activism like my Atheist & Agnostic Alliance student group, and general posts about work I do on my course (Computer Science with Information Security)

Nothing else will change. The domain will be the same, the forums will remain, as will the book club. I’m an atheist student, and I want to share my entire life with you, not just my atheistic side!

    Errr…. Cool with me. VJack does this already on AtheistRev. A few post have nothing to do with atheism.

    Yes, I also started to do that. I must still carry all my old blogs to my new site as well, so I just have one collective place I can refer back to.

    A fine idea, Adrian. The most important thing about atheists is not what we believe — or rather, what we don’t believe — it’s who we are. Showing the world who we are is, IMO, the beset way to make the case for a secular society. I haven’t much time to spend here, alas, but look forward to popping in when I can.

    No reason not to Adrian.

    I have several properties and have to “schedule” time for all of them. Can be chore sometimes but it is what it is.

    I’d suggest migrating all the content here on a subdomain and page to page 301’s. You can always refire the other domain should you choose to in the future.

    Big fan of the technobabble (MechEng)

    I am interested in hearing more about your Atheist & Agnostic Alliance. I am also a college student, but we have nothing even close to something like that. Plenty of Christian groups, though…

    I’d say go for it. Do the merge. It will make your life simpler.
