To start with, if you head over to the Qumana Blog you will be able to find two different weblog posts providing some further details on the latest version of the weblogging software. But also you could head over to the Qumana Overview web site and right there you will be able to read it all.

Thanks very much for dropping by and for the feedback comments ! I knew I was not the only one out there who may have been thinking about this already and those tips that you have shared above are terrific. Specially, I like tip 1) and 3), which I have been doing more or less subconsciously all along, so I am glad to hear I was on the right track. I think I will continue to use either of them where necessary but without abusing too much of any of them since that would become quite repetitive and now what I would be expecting for the purpose of both weblogs that I maintain at the moment. Oh, by the way, one of these days you will have to share with us what it is like writing on up to 16 weblogs ! That must have been a whole new experience ! Thanks again for the feedback !

As you grow in number of blogs, and if those blogs ever overlap in topic, it can be tempting. I write on about 16 myself, so I've had this debate with myself. My opinion is that if you think you have highly different audiences, then go for it. In 90% of the cases, however, I'll do a couple of things: 1. Excerpt from the 'main' place it is put, with a link over 2. Take out certain parts 3. Offer a different commentary for the different audience Yeah, it takes time, but if you can get started writing a revision right away, it's not so bad. Typically I just do 1 or 2, which still makes it fast :) Great post, and thanks! ;)
