Keep it themed

Okay. So you might be the kind of person who has diverse interests. I can understand since I’m one myself. And I do understand how it is when temptation to just mesh all of your hobbies and interests in one site comes along. It does save resources than putting up five different sites for each of your five interests. But the thing is you have to stick to one theme. If your site is about entertainment, then please do not go astray that particular path. Do not have multi-themed pages in one site about pets, housekeeping, rock music, etc. etc.
