I have a blog post that has been sitting for a few days now and I'm going to give it the weekend before I publish. It's probably ready now but just today I thought of a few more modifications and, over the weekend I will probably think of some more mods that I want to make. This is a really thoughtful post. I really enjoyed the points and will definitely check out your blog. Best, Bob I love the “let it sit” entry.

For example, I created the term "Barefoot Geek" because it's very flexible in how it can be interpreted. The 'barefoot' side of things brings thoughts of simplicity and being carefree, whilst 'geek' can be related to anything remotely technological. Then I simply created a "What is a Barefoot Geek?" page on the site (which is one of the most popular pages at the moment) and once visitors understand the concept they're receptive to a broad range of content. It's similar to what Tim Ferriss has done with the the Four Hour Work Week blog. His subtitle is "Experiments in Lifestyle Design", but since he coined the phrase "lifestyle design" he can effectively write about whatever he wants. Anyways, that's my take on it. I've tried creating niche blogs but I find it much easier to have just one broader blog tied into a single concept. :-) Instead of splitting up your posts you could try creating an all encompassing brand.
