Multi site blog integration

I used to have a blog for my K program, but I found it difficult to write new blog posts and in the end I deleted it. However, I do need to add more content and show that my K web site is alive and that things are happening.

I’ve made some early steps towards adding a summary of recent blog posts for our jewellery site to the front page. I’ve now began thinking that this could help a lot of my sites, but obviously only where the content is relevant.

So I’m thinking that if I could create a combined blog for my K site and my maths site, which has kids as the common theme, this might give me enough topics to keep a blog alive, parenting would also be relevant to both. As a bonus it would act as a cross selling mechanism too.

My problem is how would I integrate a blog into both sites, I don’t really want to setup a new domain, but having a blog on one site and shown on the other looks a bit odd.

Also, I did think I could have K specific stuff in one category and maths in another and only some stuff in those on the relevant site, but this would greatly reduce the content shown in the summary on the front pages.

Any ideas?

    How about setting up a subdomain on the maths store
    called (for example) kids then linking from both sites? I
    wouldn’t worry too much about splitting content between
    sites, i.e. showing some categories on one site only – if
    that’s what you mean. You probably don’t want the blog
    posts to be too commercial/ hard-selling, but to talk
    more about ideas for occupying kids.

    I think that might look weird.

    I’m considering having a company blog aka mcl news dot com. Then I could make my company into a brand.

    I really don’t know.
