I'm not sure that those links really convinced me that this is highly sought after feature for blogs, but I can certainly see how it would be useful in certain situations and ultimately I have no problem with adding it in. So I am +1 to the idea if you want to do it.
Well mostly those links only showed to myself I'm not the only one who thinks it's useful :) I wasn't sure since no one else had seemed to request it!
For example, why can't you just have a single blog but use categories or tags to allow people to see entries from specific topics? And alternatively, as a few folks have suggested, you could still have multiple blogs but use the aggregation tool to merge the content between them together when appropriate.
I can understand this might be messy. It's only something I thought of the other day so no worries if it's not feasible. I did want to explain, however, that having a single blog wouldn't work for me. After all our "family" blog (where we talk about our son mostly for the benefit of our families) has multiple authors and I just don't want multiple authors on my personal blog. And if I ever did host one of those "knitalongs" I wouldn't want all those people to have access to my blog either! Equally I don't think many family members want to slog through my relatively boring posts about knitting :) These are not sophisticated computer users and it's a lot easier for them to go to a single web address for Nathan's blog than a complicated one that sorts through categories or tags at my blog. I haven't played with tags yet though, and am looking forward to that for solving some other things I grumble about :) As for aggregation, will have to H to explain that one to me because I don't understand that at all! Thanks for listening, Carrie
