That is a good point. Does selling it - and then the new owner running it into the ground, ruin your credibility?

I wouldn't sell any of my blog right now because I want to use them to make more money online. Perhaps one day I'm not interested in blogging anymore, then i will consider selling my blog.

Wouldn't think so if you made it public you sold it. Post on the blog it is forsale and than post again when it's sold.

Never, specially since mine is registered on a family name domain

Ya but still, no one will ever be you. No one is ever going to post exactly like you do, unless you bother going through an apprenticeship or something.

I know what you're saying that ultimately no one would ever have to sell their blog. unfortunately sometimes people need money so they have to sell things they would rather not. if you do sell your blog just make sure you make it known to your core audience that it is sold and let them know where you will be working in the future. That way if they like your style they can continue to read your work.

for what it's worth it makes more sense to sell a blog on a niche topic then to sell a personal blog because for the reasons you mentioned above it would just never really work.

LOL how weird would be if I sold my personal blog and someone just kept writing as though they were me.

Niche blogs can be sold in my opinion but personal blogs should never be.
