One blog or several? Own domain or blog hoster?

    When blogging with multiple content, say exercise for one and personal finance for another; is it best to utilize multiple blogs? Is it common for people to have many blogs they maintain?

    Also, is there any advantage to getting a domain name (.com .net) for a blog versus having it hosted by a site such as blogger, etc..

    Thanks fellas

    I suggest multiple blogs, one for each topic.

    Benefit of your own domain = not having the extended domain, blogger can make your whole blog disappear at the drop of a hat.

    I suggest own domain, self hosted too.

    It is advisable to make each seperate blog for different niche such as one for finance,one for technology,one for travel,one for health etc.

    And blog hosted on self domain is good as you have more power in your hand if you have it on your own domain.

    DON.
