Mind you, i did it nilly willy, and of course, now im knee deep in too much to do, too little time, and not enough resources to pull it off. I own and run several blogs and sites, including a Groovy series of blogs, such as Groovy Vegetarian, Groovy Chicago, and Groovy Entrepreneur. (this last one is no longer mine) I never should have started so many all at the same time, because it is too much for one person, and too much for a newbie. Everything you do has to be done, 3x (marketing-content-community building) However, over time, i have learned loads. No doubt the hard way, but eventually things will come full circle for me and my "small network". The one thing i like about the DailyBlogTips network, and have been thinking of incorporating into mine, is the singular design element of the blogs. As you noted above, they all have that same look and feel. I do like that. Initially my thought was, well people aren't gonna want to see the same look throughout, but i could/might/maybe be wrong. Readers might actually be drawn to the same theme. I'm glad you covered the DBT network, Daniel does have a nice series of blogs, and i too am a subscriber of his. But i didnt know he ran the show solo. Thats inspiring to hear. Missy. I know first hand how hard it is trying to establish a blog network.

You should actually checkout http://www.blogtrepreneur.com/ - I virtually know the guy who writes it. Starting a blog network is hard stuff which is why I went with the feedburner network idea. Having cohesion between members is tough too. Its much easier when its a network of sites YOU own. nice writeup.
