Thanks for sharing that look into busy bloggers.

Now that I mention it I wonder if someone with multiple blogs manages to keep them all active on a regular basis. You can have multiple blogs – but if you don’t post to them regularly, well…

Definitely not me. This is really my only personal blog.

C&I Updates (http://cical.blogspot.com/) is used exclusively to announce new issues of Cites & Insights and, once in a while, new books. It exists mostly because I started C&I years before I ever thought of blogging.

There’s a sort-of blog as part of LISNews, but that just repeats C&I Updates posts, basically, and I haven’t counted elements of LISNews as being separate blogs.

I also “have” one work blog, PLN Highlights, used entirely to post highlights of the PALINET Leadership Network. I don’t think of that as my blog; it’s part of the work day.

There are bloggers with at least eight different blogs, but not all of them within the library field. And there are bloggers who–like you–have their own blogs but also actively participate in group blogs.

Within the “Liblog Landscape” as I defined it in this case, a quick scan of author names within the index (noting that I would only index authors for single-author and maybe two-author blogs, not group blogs), I see several authors with two blogs (any of whom may be involved in one or several group blogs), at least one with three (Rachel Singer Gordon, but one of those three is a two-author blog)…and one with four, but I almost missed her because three of the four are profiled on the same page.

Kathleen de la Peña McCook has four different blogs, and as far as I know she handles them independently: Librarian, Librarian 2, A LIBRARIAN AT THE KITCHEN TABLE, and Union Librarian. (As usual, I use the orthography of the blog itself, SHOUTING and all.)

I’m sure there are library people who contribute to five or more library-related blogs (particularly when you include library blogs), but as far as I know McCook’s the peak case for liblogs.

What are the most blogs that any one blogger is associated with?

Is it you. I think you blog under 3 or 4 different titles – although you tend to offer the same post at all of them – at times (mostly announcements).

I blog for 3 separate blogs.

Is there anyone who blogs for more than 3 – and contributes completely different material at all of them?
