tl;dr: Having fewer sites to deal with seemed like a stronger idea. I still wanted to feature the richer content over the smaller tidbits while also not overwhelming people who had subscribed in the past. I also took into account trying to make it relatively easy for people to subscribe to the particular data they want/need out of my website. My home page has a list of various post kinds available which may be useful to think about as well.
@mrkrndvs has played around in this area of aggregation as well with a few different websites and may have some insight too.
Whatever you decide, be sure to have some fun along the way.
I really like this idea and will try to copy when I have time. @wiobyrne this could be your newsletter hack as well
I have developed a few sites over the years, although not as many as Greg. I have since compressed a number of these into two sites:
– Read Write Respond: My main site, with my longer posts
– Collect Read Write: My collection from the web
I also use my second site to POSSE.
I haven’t gone to the degree of guiding people as Chris has, but it all there hidden in the code if people want to find it.
If you have any further questions, let me know.
