New Old Content

For a while, I had a wordpress blog at https://essence-of-eclectic.blog -- it is still there right now, but I haven't been posting to it for a while, and it costs $$ to keep it there. So I'm going to take it down. But many of the posts there are worth keeping, so I'm going to be re-posting them here. So be prepared for a bunch of new old content coming up. Not sure how long it will take to do, or what will be the easiest way to do it, but it will be coming soon. No way will it be as fancy as it was on wordpress, but at least the essential content will be there.

I know many people advocate that one keep separate blogs for separate topics/audiences, but it is just too much bother for me. I don't care. If I'm going to have a blog, it's going to be just as eclectic as I am. So that's me, here. So there. (sigh) I hate being told what to do.

How many of you maintain multiple blogs?
