I can see how if all the writers are strong it could be very interesting to have more in depth posts and discussions. If it gets big you might even consider opening up forums or user submitted questions/ideas for discussion/comment by all.

Personally I’m not to concerned about the frequency of posts issue, I read what comes up and I don’t mind if there are days between I’m more drawn to a quality article.

Bottom line is if it helps you as a blogger to lessen the load, work more productively as a team, and maybe increase your traffic I’d say go for it.

CD, I would recommend that you not post duplicate articles on both blogs as it will affect SEO ratings with google. Duplicate content is a no no with them.

Mike, yes, a shared blog can be a great idea. Esp if you have a group of strong writers with a lot of knowledge. Could be a big traffic draw. Kinda like a newspaper with a bunch of authors.

Haha, just kidding. That’s admirable of you to post on holiday – I was planning to just not post for my holidays.

I think the group blog idea is a good one – kind of similar idea to a ShortDaBull type of site except not everyone can post. I always thought that a shared blog would be a better way to go for a lot of bloggers who don’t want to post frequently.

Some bloggers are too busy and others like to write longer, indepth posts which take a lot more time so a shared blog could work quite well to keep traffic up regardless of how often each blogger posts.

You could try keeping your current blog but that might be pretty tough. Personally it doesn’t matter to me where your posts are located as long as I get to read them. This is probably a dumb question but can you put your posts on both blogs? Or maybe put the intro to each post on this blog with a link to the shared blog?

IF you are going to do the group blog thing, I would advise that you keep your current blog also. I think that if the group blog gets big, your own blog could benefit from the traffic that you could refer over.
