Morning,
Well! I’ve now been told by several individuals who I respect that I should narrow my focus on BarbaraLing.com to EITHER:
Personal Development
or
Entrepreneuring
but not…..both.
Now, this is a major bummer for me, because it involves:
- 1.) Setting up another site
- 2.) Porting over my blog posts
- 3.) Methodically deleting the non-related posts from each blog
- 4.) Setting up the images and the hyperlinks and the feeds and the …..
ARGH!!!!
Should BarbaraLing.com be for personal development?
or
Should another one of my sites (virtual-coach.com or own-business.com or kickfate.com or …) be for entrepreneuring?
I’ve just verified it IS indeed possible to do the incredibly massive amount of work to port over my posts/etc….but my gosh, it’s just plain daunting to the extreme.
What do YOU think?
Let me know while I quietly panic,
Barbara Ling

I definitely vote for keeping things as they are. I look forward to reading post on entrepreneurship and personal development.
Just my 2cents,

Hi Ulla!
Don’t worry, I’m not going to lose either of them….but I do have some ideas…..

Hmmm…. It’s a question we all ask ourselves from time to time. Kind of a who am I and what am I doing. I know focus for me is tough. I start in a direction but bright shiny things constantly distract me and off on a new tangent I go.
I think you’ll have greater success by focusing and the tough decision is, if you do, which piece goes to a new site.
Good luck with your decision.

Hi Bill,
After sleeping on it, I’m pretty certain I have a good idea on how to go…thanks!

Hi Barbara,
I’m kind of in the same position with my two blogs, so I know what your feeling. Don’t know the answer yet, unfortunately.
It might be easier to port your posts directly in sql. Select the posts you want and export them into a catch-table. Export that table from the old blog database and import it into the new one under a different name. Then all you have to do is go through and assign categories.
Just a thought.

Thanks Glenn! I discovered the import/export – so far it’s working great.
Best wishes, Barbara
That picture says it all. Why can’t you include both? I don’t see why it’s an issue.
