Running a one man blog is hard to do over the long run without burn out from what I’ve seen over the years.
So far the solutions seem to be to turn a one man blog into a multiple person blog. The problem there is finding enough people close to your view points and can produce quality as well as quantity.
What would you name a new blog, AngryGoblinsandupsetZombies?
I feel these decisions should be made privately without having to look for outside approval. I trust that you will make the right choice for you and what ever money you stand to make be between you and yours. What you don’t want is people to think you are selling out in the name of money which some might feel you could compromise integrity. I enjoy reading your blog, I don’t care if you sell it to someone else and you start another…all I will need to know is what the new address will be and I’ll be there.
George, This is a “personality” blog. You is stuck with it! BUT, understand that every time you post here writing time you should be selling is not being done. Some authors allegedly starved to death answering their correspondence. A blog eats time and thought, if it serves as promotion this can be good. BUDGET your time!

My previous comment being said, can your eldest offspring string words together yet?

Without you, MadOgre would sink like a stone.
There are some great guys out there that could carry MadOgre.com. I’d have to do start a new Ogre blog. Actually, 3 Separate blogs.

I have a few ideas that I wish not to say because everytime I do – what was once available gets snatched.
MadDartingOgre.com is open
Of course it would be… we do not dart. A darting ogre would be silly.
ah yes, your standard darting ogre would be silly, but a Mad one?
That would be a Charging Ogre

Change that second D to an F…

We may break wind from time to time. Especially after chili.
Whatever keeps you happy because a happy Ogre is a bloggy Ogre and that is a goodness thing.
Much depends on which definition of mad the Ogre fell into. Is the Ogre cross, or insane?
I’ve always left that up to the Reader to decide. But, Mad Hatter was an original inspiration… Even if I do not make hats.
It would be like the bat without the man, starsky without hutch, penn with no teller……
Madogre.com and George – 2 sides of the same coin

Knee-dragging ogre? Oh wait, your knee is f’d and you’ve sworn off sportbikes. Nevermind.
You are thinking incorrectly. Sell some add space. Then sell for more.
What is the average airspeed of an unladen Ogre?
Irish or Scottish?
Do it. Make something more awesome! OR ask for a bailout from the .gov.

I’m not sure if he’s ready.
Dude, if you’re going to close one to open three, why not just morph one and open two more? the other guys can do their own thing.
