Is it ethical to link two free blogs belonging to the same person?

  Suppose one has two blogs…both non-commercial. One single personal blog and the other a group blog and one cross-posts. While mentioning that one has cross-posted one can say something like:
  ‘This post is also available on my personal blog’
  A link would be given.
  Is this ethical by blogging ethics?

  Linking sources? You can link anyone’s blog and as many I guess. I link everything on my blog as my sources or else I’ll get emails again. lol

  I’d say:

  Creating other blogs with the sole purpose of linking back = not good.

  Linking to another one of your blogs, because the info is there = no problem. :)

  I do that sometimes and quite frankly, when I don’t indicate that I’ve also posted it at the other blog, people think I’m trying to hide something. I usually say “cross-posted from n.com:” where n is the blog name.
