How do you go about with several blogs?

Currently I have 3 blogs - 2 which I like to promote. The subject of the two are not in the same realm at all : one is on design and coding at mStudiosTALK and the other on new age and tarot at TarotDivergency.
Places like 9rules (or Virb) allow you to import 1 RSS feed - but this is only 1/2 of what I'd like to show of myself, it's like I'm only halfway here!
What do you do in such a situation? Create a second online profile (which I feel would disperse me). The thing I like very much about 9rules is that it brings different services together, and of course I would like to know if there is a way to make use of this by combining 2 blogs in one profile.
Any hints, suggestions?

You could use something like Yahoo! Pipes to combine the feeds, then put the Yahoo Pipes feed URL into sites like your my.9r profile.

This is GREAT and exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks Chris.

The only thing with Yahoo pipes is that you're only allowed a certain number of requests to them per IP (in a set timescale).
It's not hard to get banned from them for a day for hitting it too hard with AJAX requests etc.
But for what you're talking about you should be fine :)

Yes, it works fine on VIRB for me. Oddly enough when I put the feed here I only got 2 of the 3 into 9rules/chawlk. But that's okay... I guess :-)

I just looked at that yahoo pipes and couldn't figure out how to use it, it sent me to a page with a picture on it and there was nothing else there.

it has a little movie that shows how to use it. basically you add the different RSS feeds and combine them. it's kinda visual with dragging the anchors out and then entering URL and combining them. I did fiddle a little around to get it work, but of course I had a harder time because I never read the manual (help files) which are there :-)
