I especially like being able to see all the countries my website visitors are coming from. I found this thing called Google Health recently too which acts like a central database for all your medical info. Tres cool! Ok I am revealing my geekness there a bit... But yes...long live Google!

Makes good sense to me. I am not sure about actually doing serious blogging for each book but setting up a blog style website (I love Wordpress!) and adding a little marketing content in the blog area would be a good idea. Your main blog should be about building your central platform and so it needs to be a little more general but at the same time it should be consistent. If you don't have a consistency you can't keep your audience long. Your consistency can consist (hehe) of a topic or just an attitude or anything. As long as you stay true to some kind of form. Yours to me seems like a kind of diary like report of you and your life. Mine so far has been all about writers and marketing. We are both being consistent in our own way. There is nothing wrong with your kitchen sink approach to blogging. You already are targeting though. I have seen you Mr. here-are-my-experiences-with-vertical-growing. That is a great targeting topic for your gardening writing. Keep it up! Right Weldon. Makes good sense to me.

My modus operandi is to use my overall author Web site for the "kitchen sink" blog. For specific books (when I finally write them), I'd create a tangential Web site dedicated to each book, and a targeted blog for each. So, a gardening book would focus on gardening, a suspense novel would focus on suspense, etc. Make sense? I'll have to check out the Weiland video.

At least five times a week! Wow! I can't see that in my near future. Not that I disagree with you. Time is definitely a problem--but so is priority. I guess my blog is pretty far down the priority list for me. Man, I’m lucky if I can get a blog posting up once a week! At least five times a week! Wow! I can’t see that in my near future.
