Two blogs or not two blogs? - an IWSG post

At the moment I'm feeling a little insecure about my blogging. Well, maybe insecure is a bit strong, let's just say I'm a bit unsure.
I'm really happy with how this blog is going now, I'm getting into a rhythm with it and I'm just about keeping up with posts and hops and things. I'm improving with my commenting too, and responding when someone comments on a post of mine. I can feel my networking coming along nicely.

I've been debating with myself for a little while as to whether I should start another blog or not. I have a page set up on Wordpress which is pretty empty right now and is waiting for me to do something with it properly. I like the look of Wordpress and I'm finding my way around now, but I need to have a think about what it would be for.

I've heard some horror stories about peoples Blogger accounts being randomly deleted, losing everything they'd posted and their followers. This makes me think about transferring everything from this blog over to the Wordpress one, for security. There is a risk though that not all my followers will come, and I'll be taking a step back in that sense.

I've also wondered about having it alongside this one, perhaps purely for fiction and keeping this one for all the blog hopping fun. I'm not sure if I could keep up with posting for two blogs though, I've only just got myself on track with this one.

I have times, when I'm feeling more positive, when I just think 'yeah, it's a great idea let's just do it!' But then another part creeps in saying, 'why do you need another one? This one is perfectly fine.'
I realise I'm probably overthinking too much about the whole thing and should just get on with it, but I want to be sure before committing I suppose.

Do many of you have multiple blogs? How do you find managing them?

Happy IWSG Day!
