    A lot of people know about my DP blog, digitalpointing.com
    I update it a lot and it's pretty busy.

    I've been getting offers left and right and though I love the site, I'm considering selling it. Should I? If so, how much?

    I'm just worried that whoever I sell it to will neglect it, post irrelevant/pointless/stupid stuff or just altogether delete it.

    Price is depend on how much the site earning, traffic source, etc..

    If you're worried about the new owner or future posts,
    then only sell it to someone who YOU think can really take care of the blog.

    I'll probably just give it to Col when I start to have an overload of projects. I'm pretty sure he'll take care of it. :/

    I didn't say for free. I said I'd give it to him and I'm pretty sure he'd take care of it.

    Your site looks great. I reckon work on it a bit more until you find someone that can take really good care of it.
    Col would be good to give it too. I'm pretty sure he'd maintain it awesomely. :D

    Yep. I like it but lately DP has been very slow so there's not much to write about.

    I have to say that I'm thankful for your site when DP goes down. Allows the DP audience a good alternative place to go. I think that you will still do well with DP's membership.... if they learn that you provide DP news and information!

    If you are interested in selling... what would your price be?

    If you enjoy working on it keep it, but otherwise you could sell it.

    Well seeing the site is piggybacking off digital point which is an amazing and very active community I would say selling the domain and site for less than 2000 usd would be silly.

    To make a better assumption I would need to see your stats, hits etc...

    P.S. do you have a section where you make fun of the funniest posts at dp ? It's would be cool to start a pole at dp regrading everyones funniest posts and the winner could be blogged monthly :)

    Cheers
