    I am redoing my site in WordPress, and have my main business site planned, and it includes my present business blog.

    At the same time, I also plan to launch a second blog that covers different content, but will be a business under my umbrella company. I own another domain I’d like to use that is more appropriate to the topic.

    I’ve been told it’s best to link them in some way so both blogs/site benefit from one another. This is where my technical knowledge fades– how should I best handle this?

    Ideas welcome.

    Hi Joan, if the new blog is totally different than your business blog, and would attract a totally different audience, I personally wouldn’t attach the new blog to the business blog.

    You may get a little boost by linking it to your business blog, but not much, and it might be confusing to your existing audience.

    If the new blog is different but does interest and benefit your current (business blog) audience, you can create a page (called “blog” or whatever you want) and do a 301 redirect taking anyone who clicks on the “blog” title, in your menu, to your new blog.

    Or, you can create a page describing your new blog with some details, and then create a link within the page that takes them to the new blog.

    Some blog themes have a 301 redirect incorporated within each page so you can easily add in the URL. You’ll see the 301 redirect option if you scroll to the bottom of your “page” if your theme has incorporated this feature.

    Just my 2 cents :) Good luck with the new blog Joan!

    Again, I agree with @glenanderws.   I would not link them together if they are separate topics.   That way, you do not muddy the content – so to speak.
