Your Blogs And Your Blogger Accounts

Some bloggers are confused about the relationship between blogs and Blogger accounts, and think that you need a separate account for each blog. This leads to questions like
I have 2 blogs, and whenever I am logged in to one, I can't edit the other.
or
I can only see one blog at a time, in my dashboard.


In other scenarios, some bloggers accidentally create a new Blogger account, when they setup a new blog.

Fortunately, in both cases, it's no great task to simply transfer one of the blogs to the account that owns the other blog. Subject to the Blogger limit of 100 blogs / account, you may keep all of your blogs under one account, or under a dozen accounts, at your pleasure.

If having multiple blogs under one account makes you worry about mixing blogs that shouldn't be seen together, by their all having a common "About Us" / "Profile" gadget on the blogs, make a custom Profile gadget for the blogs that are sensitive to you.
